It is insane to use low-yield nuclear weapons because as they are incoming, the recipient has no choice but to assume the worst and potentially retaliate accordingly. EDIT: Note: Not related to this article, but it is also insane to place nuclear weapons on typically conventional platforms such as a cruise missile, because then the recipient must now assume incoming conventional attacks could be nuclear as well. Also, a low yield bomb is still a nuclear bomb! EDIT 2: Note that it is also insane to use a high yield nuclear bomb, but we knew that already.
