Given your scenario, why on earth WOULDN'T the UK retaliate? If there is a large newly-glassed area with mass casualties in the UK, do you think that the rest of the British population wouldn't demand a key turn or two from your SSBNs? Me thinks your government would.
BTW, my background included 4 yrs babysitting some MMIIIs under North Dakota. However, with continued medication and therapy, I'm doing much better now.....
