Probably more nukes. Once the band aide is off, why stop at one?

Only the nuclear umbrella of a country with missiles able to hit major US cities might stop them, so maybe Russia, China or DPRK (if Pakistan was willing, its missiles won't launch that far. I guess there's a really really outside chance that France extends its nuclear umbrella).
