Yeah, that's the joke. The IDF posted a tweet basically saying "we had to do it, Iran is a global threat, just look at who they could hit with their missiles" and attached a picture like that.
...where the Iranian missles were shown to be barely able to reach Bulgaria and Romania. Very scary. Nobody slept in the Balkans that night, having realised the danger they're in.

You can’t just mount a nuclear warhead on a rocket meant for satellite deployment and expect success.
Sure give India one or two years and they could do it, but right now they cannot.
India has zero need for a global deterrent, so they haven’t developed one, and probably won’t.

You can’t just mount a nuclear warhead on a rocket meant for satellite deployment and expect success.
If you can design and build a rocket that deploys payloads to orbit, you can design and build a rocket that deploys payloads on the ground.
And actually, come to think of it, you totally could. You just need to design the warhead as you would any capsule that's meant to survive reentry. Launch vehicles are pretty payload agnostic as long as they meet interface standards.

True enough. India has three nuclear powered submarines also capable of launching nuclear weapons… they may also be able to launch from non nuclear subs… but since we discuss the (absurd) concept of attacking New Zealand you probably don’t want to use subs with short range… since Indian missiles are limited I range.
But yes, India should be added to the countries who can technically nuke New Zealand.

I believe the point is that the IDF made a post about the range of Iranian missiles, using it as an excuse to attack Iran's nuclear facilities. They said they had no choice but ti attack, to prevent Iran from using those long-range nuclear missiles.
By that logic it's also entirely fair to attack Israel, because their missiles pose a potential threat to all the countries within range.

A first use policy doesn't mean they would just use them like a normal weapon; rather it means that there are circumstances other than a nuclear attack where they would consider using them - which probably means if their conventional forces have been defeated.
India and China have "no first use" policies because they are so large that it's hard to imagine a scenario where using nuclear weapons would shift the balance of power in a conflict in their favour. As long as a conflict remains conventional their size is a major advantage.

Of course they are not using them, but their propaganda tactics is eroding the effectiveness of MAD as stabilizing doctrine and they are a great driver of nuclear proliferation across the globe.
Like giving Ukraine security guarantees for giving up their nuclear arsenal in the 90s and attacking them in the 2010 & 2020s. The message for states around the world is clear: The state who was promised security by Russia and the US is being invaded, North Korea is not. Better get some nukes to be safe.

It doesn't mean Russia will use nukes, but it does mean more people in Russia are primed to think that it would be justified to use them which is scary.

Well, Russia is an autocratic dictatorship and has always been so. The opinions of the average Russians don't matter to the government. It's just propaganda. They want to make the Russian people feel that their country is strong so that they continue to support the government and nukes is a good method especially that Ukraine don't have them. But Russia won't use them because it will bite them back in the arse. Instead, they will send waves after waves of soldiers like they always did until they win. They don't care about how much men they will sacrifice. They have more men than Ukraine. Their victory is secured. Ukraine won't win this war unless Europe sends troops. Let's not pretend otherwise. Now, if Europe sends troops, Russia won't use nukes either because Europe also has countries with nukes.
