The nukes are there to stop us nuking them and them nuking us.I think this is valid to the thread.
Throughout my adult life, I have been a strong advocater of nuclear weapons, purely as I, and most strategists, thought that while the opposition had them, then any major war would be averted as mutual decimation would ensue, and they would never be used.
Turns out I was wrong, because even though Russia are waging a terribly unjust war on a neighbour, we won't do anything just in case they use them. My argument of mutual nukes, to stop war is totally defunct. It is purely serving as a way of stopping us getting involved. Go figure.
They can do what they like to non-nuclear armed countries, as can we.
I don't intend any of the above to sound facetious
