This keeps getting repeated but both parties having nuclear weapons means a nuclear exchange is possible. You just need one crazy party.

- ckastner 5y agoIt's not a question of "possible". It's a question of "probable". Me being old enough to buy lottery tickets means that me winning the lottery three times in a row is possible. The probability of that is very low. There is nothing to suggest that the probability of a full-scale nuclear exchange is now higher than before. In fact, given that all major powers have already ruled out a military response, the probability might even be lower. > You just need one crazy party. No, you need an entire crazy command-and-control structure.
