- marcosdumay 10y agoThe most interesting part is that no party wins anything by retaliating, only loses more. It must be very interesting how this fact in included on strategies.

And you never want to launch all your missiles, because then you have no bargaining power. So any nuclear conflict is likely to involve several exchanges.
