In answer to your question, yes. Other NATO countries will go to war if any NATO country is attacked.
Think about it… are you willing to stand by and embolden a country by doing nothing when they nuke another? Any country that would be willing to nuke another over being called out for involvement in assassination is one that needs to be neutralized immediately to remove that nuclear threat.
By your very logic, if they are willing to nuke over nothing, they’ll also do it to countries that sanction them. Just because you wouldn’t help your friends in a fight or if they got attacked doesn’t mean everyone is the same as you and just watch while it happens doing nothing. Think about it…

Good point, but the number of countries sanctioning India would definitely far exceed the number that would retaliate militarily against them. Non-NATO countries would join in on sanctions but would not join the fight, so there would simply be too many sanction targets to retaliate against.

I’m Canadian so I’ve been considering this from the viewpoint of the one who got attacked. I’m really having trouble believing my friends (other NATO countries) would put their necks out on the line, and I think they would be more cautious in the face of their own nuclear destruction.
