There would be no point for whoever is next in power to nuke NATO. Imagine being in his place. Putin has just been assassinated. You are the head of the largest country in the world. Order troops back home and you immediately become popular both domestically and internationally. You've just achieved the goal of your life time. You kids are now kids of Russian's president.
Now someone comes to you and says: "Dear sir, as per our nuclear protocol we have to nuke NATO and immediately die to their response". What would you say? I guess, "Screw the protocol".
