At some point having nukes might not make a difference though. To quote the mean, when everyone is special nobody is anymore, and having proxy access to nukes could be enough as a deterrent (e.g. being in an alliance that triggers a nuclear response in case of nuclear attack should be enough ?)
- jychang 2y agoEh "when everyone is special nobody is anymore" is strongly not true when it comes to nukes and MAD. This is obvious.
- makeitdouble 2y ago> This is obvious In your own response you've extended the subject to MAD. And there are dozens of other factors that will impact a country's geopolitical position. None of this is obvious.
- rurp 2y agoThe problem is that wars inevitably break out between countries. They are bad enough with conventional means, but wars with nuclear arsenals can quickly scale to unimagineable catastrophies.
- makeitdouble 2y agoThis the reason no nukes were dropped since WW2, and why I also think the next mass massacre won't be from nukes but any other mean that won't have the same international framework. Vietnam wasn't nukes, and it wasn't just a fluke. Gaza wasn't nuked, yet the whole area is now flat.
