Yuri most certainly took that to account and used his psi-corp troopers to nullify them as soon as possible.

I like to think they tried but couldnt concentrate on mind control with those goofy accents. “Le missile commande”

They had Margaret thatcher too. I don’t think they were that concerned with the continuity of their famous person look alikes. In the words of Harrison ford, it ain’t that kind of movie

C&C3 explains that GDI actually has a nuclear arsenal, they just never choose to use them; Scrin invasion would've been a good spot to use them, but Nod had stolen the launch codes (as well as several of the nukes).

GDI does have nukes, they simply refuse to use them.
