During WWII there were chemical weapons that could have devastated civilian populations, like Anthrax and Nerve Gas, yet they weren’t used in Europe to wipe huge chunks of the population, even amidst atrocities on an unprecedented scale they didn’t come out.
Is it possible after nuclear weapons are made, for governments to simply refuse to use them, or atleast refuse to use them against civilian targets while engaged in massive wars against other nuclear powers?
I honestly almost think it’s weird to think that a war between the modern US and Russia would have to come down to nuclear weapons is kind of nuts, like losing that war wouldn’t really be that bad for either side.
