Whatever the U.K. does, the commonwealth will follow.
Just the U.S. and China would be a bloodbath.
The U.S. may have more nukes but they dont have 10 minute instruction videos on how to use a Chinese military entrenching spade.
So if comes to a trench warfare situation, the U.S. might loose.

I don't think either country would be stupid enough to directly invade the other.

No, the U.S. has far more allies--even Russia would support her. Britain would, France would, Canada would, Japan would, Australia would--any country in its right mind would.

Uh, yeah they would. This isn't another Cold War the OP is talking about, this is an official, declared and openly hostile "shooting" war between opponents both armed with nuclear weapons. The button would pushed quick as fuck to prevent the other guy from pushing it.

Nuclear weapons would be the last resort.
After all we do live in an anti-nuclear society, and the American government wouldn't really hit the button unless the war is supported by the people...
All depends.
They used the nuke with Japan because people supported this idea and didn't really think that there would be nuclear fallout etc.
They wouldn't dare use it on Vietnam because it was largely unpopular.
I think the Chinese might be the ones to hit the trigger, they don't have to worry with all those problems.

But we have to worry about the Chinese hitting the trigger, who obviously wouldn't give a shit about international opinion. And I guarantee this scenario has been considered by the Pentagon, just like virtually every other scenario imaginable, and the U.S. would not just sit-by waiting for China to launch. We know China would launch, and what's opinion compared to being the target of a nuclear assault? I would imagine most of our allies would support the launch, too, considering they would probably be targets.
