    Right and neither side has an incentive to push the other side to launch them so before a deciding victory a stailmate will occur and after a year or two the fighting will beginning again with no real problems solved and thousands of innocent young men paying for it

      That’s just wrong for the simple reason that NATO is vastly superior in any form of conventional warfare.

      NATO against russia would be nothing like WW2.
      It would be a one sided beating.

      And russia would lose and lose fast.

      But russia would still have no incentive to be the first to launch nukes, because that would change the situation from bad to total annihilation.

        Like NATO in Afghanistan.

          NATO sucks at occupation. (As does everyone) Clashing armies are another matter. A war with Russia would be quick and decisive. The following occupation of Russia would be a quagmire.

            Yea I’m not convinced a lot of this is based on a history in which Russia has had very little personal loss and assumes Russia’s use of military doctrine is static and will continue to stay static also if Russia is aware that nuclear threats have low probability of effectiveness it would speak more towards it being an actual threat and not a bluff
