well even in the U.S., POTUS could not just wake up one day and order a full on strike for the hell of it. If it was not justifiable, you can be sure the 25th amendment would be invoked rather quickly.
In the USSR, based on Cold War documents which come out periodically, you can see there were a lot of safeguards put in and the military had to basically sign off on the order.
I would presume the same safeguards still exist.
