If any other nuclear power launch some or all of theirs, the chances are the exchange will be limited to well within an order of magnitude of the number they launched.
No, once the first one hits a nation, it's allies will retaliate. Kim is the adopted toddler of China, do you think China won't retaliate if an american nuke lands near it's doorstep? This whole nuclear deterrence concept is like a mexican-standoff, when one shoots, everyone dies.
