The idea that a large scale conflict will inevitably lead to nuclear exchange is so silly. Most nuclear weapons are not strategic, they are tactical. Regardless, no one would nuke the property they are trying to occupy. The reason their have been almost no real wars since the 1940s is because business interest has taken over control of every western government. I know people think there is a ton of profit to be made in war, but the damages so heavily outweigh the benefits that i have a hard time believing that is the sole motivation for hawkish policies.
