With Stormin Norman dead who takes over?
I think it very likely that a nuke would not be used in retaliation
At worst Tactical nukes (tomahawks) might be used to pick off the republican Guard Brigades - before they could escape
But I suspect that the NATO Tank forces would again go full 'Fulda Gap tank battle mode' but this time the only thing on earth that could stop them wouldn't (GW Bush Snr) and the entire Iraqi Army would be crushed including the Republican Guard Divisions - and regime change would happen 13 years earlier.
I do not believe that a strategic weapon would be used against a population centre in retaliation.
