I don't remember where I read this, but when asked if he would fire nukes at the U.S. if he knew it would mean the utter demolition of Cuba, Fidel Castro said that he would indeed. From our perception on reality, this is totally illogical and irrational but from Castro's view of the world, taking such action would actually be very logical.

I think this is a poor example. I don't want to be a nit, but let me ask you: "What would you say if you were Castro?"

Would you say "No, even if the US invades, I would not use nuclear weapons. These are just for show?"

What else could be said? "Hmmm. I never considered the possibility of US retaliation. No, I would not use nuclear weapons."

I really can't think of any other possible response for the leader of a nation to give here.
