Not correct. Fuel for private aviation is taxed, including jet fuel and avgas. However, there are very few "private" jets, most are operated by some company, and therefore not private. Jet-A1 for a truely privately operated C172 with a diesel engine is taxed.
That's a pretty convincing use-case. Why use something standard if it can be non-standard custom instead!
Nuclear option is not likely to be used for some "minor" conflict like that, because it would go both ways quickly.
