MAD is established doctrine. Anyone who scrambles their strategic nuclear assets is immediately subject to MAD. That's why it's called MAD.

If the US uses tactical nukes in a way that no one can tell until they've been deployed, then I don't even know. That's a nightmare scenario. MAD doctrine in theory would apply, but it is a massive gray area.
