Why didn't the French retaliate against the Soviet Union for the Nuclear strike? I don't think Reagan could have stopped them in these circumstances, and in fact I would expect US opposition to make that more likely.
As for the Britain thing, there was no way the Soviets were getting their Baltic Fleet into the Atlantic. It would have wiped out by NATO submarine forces, and if not, Nato had 5-1 superiority in Naval. Also a big superiority in the air. Only place the Soviets were much stronger was on land. So them steamrolling through Germany is certainly plausible but the nuking France is not.
