The "democracy" in Russia has fallen. A dictator has taken over and a new cold war ensues. One morning he decides to nuke the US. You are the president of the US and you are alerted to a full nuclear assalt- on the US only. 99.9% of the US's population will be killed. What is your decision for a nuclear response?

Same scenario except the dictator's regime is crumbling, even France has agreed that military action is nessecary if the russions don't depose of him. After A failed coup attempt the dictator launches the weapons, agains only at the US. Your response?
