Using nuke is a sight of desperation. Same as kamikaze deployed. If you are not desperate and has gain upper hand in conflict, near wipe out enemy forces and onway to march to enemy capital.
Why would you still use nuke first? Basic logic.
Desperation in 2017 does not hold the same weight as it did in the 1940s. There are countries involved with second and third strike capabilities.
Desperation now is called MAD. Egos will take care of any sensible notions against MAD once the war goes full-scale.
India will have an inflated ego as the layman in India, unaware of our true defence/offence capabilities would want revenge for 1962.
Ego would lead to an inflated combat zone, leading to desperation, leading to MAD.
If Pakistan joins in the fray, then that would ensure much of Asia is flattened.
These scenarios seem far-fetched but I have a feeling that it's not entirely a scenario that can be ruled out.
The Europeans were convinced that the League of Nations and the clear definition of global zones of influence for each imperial power, would prevent another global war.
