I believe that deterrence works - it doesn't work perfectly, and is not a guarantee, but I strongly believe that a credible deterrent works far better than any plausible alternative we might have.
- tsimionescu 4y agoI agree, though the line between deterrence and escalation is quite thin and easy to cross. My point was only to reply to the person thinking that a nuclear strike in Ukraine affects them not at all somewhere else in Europe, which I think is extremely shortsighted.
- Luc 4y agoI was talking about the physical effects of a nuclear detonation, but I can see how that was not clear to you.
