There is a battlefield scenario where nukes could be advantageous. If a third party interferes in a big way, that is, if 200,000,000 men on horseback show up in a tight group, to heck with being a pariah state--let 'em fly.

If 200,000,000 men show up on horseback, using a nuke would result in the virtual extinction of horses. Then we'd have PETA to contend with ;) Nuke politics is so complex.
