  1. We can't know for certain that all life on earth will cease to exist as a result of a nuclear exchange. Furthermore, the film actually talk about a potential fallout-esque post-apocalyptic future where the elites have taken shelter in underground fallout shelters to "continue the nation", and there is little doubt that the top strategists are actually thinking in these terms. So they won't launch nukes out of spite. They'll launch the nuclear counter attack because, at least on paper, they have contingency plans for what to do after a global nuclear exchange. Whether the plans will actually work or not is a matter of debate, but these strategist definitely envision an "after" here and not the wholesale extinction of all life on earth.
