The example above is a counterexample, where the USSR threatened to initiate.
- trasz 5y agoNot from the description above - it says USSR wanted to use nukes in a local conflict; it's the US that threatened to make it global.
- perl4ever 5y agoIt doesn't say anything about the entire globe, just Russia. You may be mistakenly equating nuking of hundreds of cities with planetary destruction. There were hundreds of atmospheric nuclear weapon tests during the cold war. If that had been the end of the world, we wouldn't be talking about it.
