>>508178074 (OP)Suppose they have some nukes. They won"t use them lest they become obliterated. Just like they won"t retaliate against US bases with stupersonic missiles etc.
Their best course is to just let their Archie Bunkers weather whatever gets dropped on them. They might survive it. This keeps the US out and forces Azrael to go home or fight a ground war.
There might be some lemonade they can make. They could, rebuild in secret this time focusing on suitcase bombs and dirty bombs. They can hide all their enriched uranium even reactor grade for this. Since their enrichmentdrome is officially kaput they can mine and sell uranium ore and buy back enriched nuclear fuel while arming all their proxies with nukes to the teeth. When 59/nukes have been smuggled into cities around the world especially Israel and the US they can join in the condemnation of whoever did it. And claim they did this before the war and cannot get them back.
