It takes two to tango. Launching a nuclear strike would be a last resort effort. I think any country that has nukes realizes that if they launch against another country with nukes they will get hit back.
MAD - Mutually Assured Destruction is what the US and USSR guaranteed if any launches had occurred during the cold war.

US policy is that if we are attacked with weapons of mass destruction we will retaliate in an 'overwhelming and irrational manner' with our own weapons of mass destruction.
