MAD only works until somebody is dumb enough to actually press the red button.However, in the case that a country is stupid enough to actually do such a thing - leaving them the undisputed ruler of the planet is probably worse than creating the Fallout series IRL.Allah akbar it is.

You could argue letting them live (save the lives and the land from radiation) is better.
How much time do I have? If I truly am the dictator then I'm sure I'dd have some fun toys to play with. Before we got nuked I'd release every deadly bio-weapon in my arsenal into their lands, then release all of the backing research to the head countries. Then I would die by the nukes gracefully. My toys can't have fun when there's no one around or the earth is uninhabitable.
