I don't know about you, but I find every nuclear explosion offensive.

@Adam they might be on a testing site. That means the explosion is done on own territory.

@KongoLandwalker I was making a pun about the ambiguity in the word "Offensive", meaning both "with the objective of harming someone else" and "upsetting"

What happens if the human stepping on the Moon instantaneously triggers an offensive nuclear explosion that begins a Chinese invasion of Taiwan?

@wadimiusz resolves 50%.

@KongoLandwalker Ok, but what if Taiwan nukes China in response to China invading, simultaneously. Would the timing of the nuke explosion be weighed against first landing of chinese marines or would it be the launch of the nuke vs. when the invasion order was given.

If events happen at the same millisecond, then the time, needed for the information to reach London at the speed of light from the event location, will be added to both times.
