You're probably too young to remember, but Germany was a very hot frontier at the time and the most probable point for battles on the ground as opposed to ICBMs or subs.
- perl4ever 7y agoThat seems anachronistic? US ICBMs came along late 50s, I believe. Battlefield weapons like this just weren't in the same context as what we think of as MAD with thousands of missiles set to destroy the world. My original point was that in a scenario that they were used, the world wouldn't be blown up with city-killers.
- jacobush 7y agoI think yes. Even after the city killers, dogma dictated Soviet armour would pour in from the Warzaw pact. Then the tactical nukes come out. You can’t hit moving tanks with strategic nukes. Incidentally Soviet tank dominance was why the US developed attack helicopters.
- narag 7y agoHe didn't say the world, just Germany and [other] parts of Europe and it's a probable result indeed. You don't make a cannon to shoot just once.
