So if you were president and were told Russia had launched its full arsenal , do you ???
A) retaliate , in effect ending human civilization. Maybe even contributing to our extinction??
B) decide not to retaliate, so now everyone will speak Russian, but the human race/civilization survives???
No matter how we pretty it up, that is the choice the person retaliating faces.. no matter if it is the US or Russia making the decision whether or not we will retaliate.
I kinda think the way to have your cake and eat it too, would be to claim you would retaliate, but never do it... basically the button wouldn’t actually be hooked up..
Sure warfare is always lose, lose, but with the stakes being extinction.... damn.
