Why? Russia has so many nukes it just needs one sub to launch a MIRV nuclear second strike to make it 1000x more costly to NATO. Do you honestly believe NATO would ever first strike Russia??? NATO is a defense pack and we have way more to lose as our economies are on top.
- s1artibartfast 5y agoNo, I don't think NATO would first strike with nukes. Russia either for that matter, although I am slightly less certain now that they have less to loose. Nukes are good for ensuring MAD, but don't stop conventional wars,insurgencies, and geopolitics. This is why every nuclear armed country also has a conventional military. Nukes don't make them obsolete. Like you said, counties don't want to fire fist. This holds true if if Russia were to invade Poland, or NATO were to invade Russia, so you are back to square one. A good old conventional standoff.
