Response?

How would we respond? It's not even whom Trump would blame that worries me: does any nuclear-capable country have a response system (perhaps including human factors, perhaps not) that would treat this as a first strike worthy of retaliation? I'm guessing nobody can answer that, since the workings of response systems are seldom open-source...
