Honestly, if they did that, it would give us good reason to nuke all their nuclear facilities, which would arguably be a good thing.
I wonder if the crisis will just be a series of "limited" nuclear exchanges like that until there's only one nuclear power left.
ummmmm, it's absurd that this needs to be stated, but no, a war that involves the use of nuclear weapons would not be a good thing.
By the generational theory, we're starting a crisis period. Nuclear war is almost certainly coming anyway. Better to nuke their nuclear facilities now, than to have them nuke our cities later.
I certainly accept that we are in a crisis period, but I don't accept that that by definition means that nuclear war is "almost a certainty" ... or that we shouldn't do everything possible to prevent it.
