    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.
