Nuclear armed countries fighting direct hot wars will be decided in a few hours. It's astounding to think that some people still subscribe to this idea of a gentleman's battle with both sides agreeing to not use their full capability while the other is killing their own.
- leereeves 6y agoNuclear weapons would probably be used in case of invasion of either nation's homeland, but lesser non-nuclear conflicts are possible. For example, both India and Pakistan have had nuclear weapons since at least 1998. Neither used them in the Kargil War in 1999 or any of the skirmishes they've had since.

I think it's astounding that people still think nations will just hit the Doomsday Button willy nilly. Low yield tactical nukes were always a part of any response to a Russian invasion of Poland. And they will be again as well, in a hypothetical CCP invasion of Taiwan.
