Yeah right, NATO commands far more nuclear warheads than Russia! They'd definitely loose in a thermonuclear exchange!

If the nuke comes out, it won't make an ounce of a difference who has more of them: if only each side can manage to land a small handful, everyone is equally and utterly fucked.

This principle alone is why NATO has not engaged Russia more directly.

Yeah but they'd loose too! :D

I wonder if people forgot, or maybe gen Z and millenials never really know how bad nuclear weapons are. Even a regional nuclear exchange would probably lead to a nuclear winter and then a nuclear summer, completely fucking the climate. As long as we have them, it's inevitable that we'll eventually use them. Just the law of large numbers / Murphey's law. The wars climate change will cause will make that even more likely. But hey, lets keep playing stupid games.

At the same time, the world can't just roll over and let every tin pot dictator do whatever they want just because they have a nuke.
