The one downfall of MAD as a strategy to prevent nuclear war is both sides have to not be fools, or insane.
Once a launch is detected protocols become involved.

Of which I have no doubt.
Again, us responding isn't the issue, him thinking we won't respond is the issue.
Or he somehow takes out NMCC (national military command and control) and gets the first strike the theorists have always called impossible.
What the fuck!Maybe Japan should step up then
Ok.. sorry sorry
Truthfully I believe a nuclear attack is an option but I believe he will commit to cyber warfare and terrorism before using the last option, but I have warned you guys this man is not playing!Russia attacks Ukraine as Putin warns countries who interfere will face 'consequences you have never seen'
Russian troops have launched a wide-ranging attack on Ukraine as President Vladimir Putin cast aside international condemnation and sanctions.www.pbs.org
KYIV, Ukraine — Russian troops launched a wide-ranging attack on Ukraine on Thursday, as President Vladimir Putin cast aside international condemnation and sanctions and warned other countries that any attempt to interfere would lead to “consequences you have never seen.”
That means NUKES to me.
What if he nukes San Francisco or any other place where real Americans don't live??Putin's brass but not stupid. Mutually assured destruction

It's not just him thinking we won't respond, it's him knowing Biden is too weak to respond.Of which I have no doubt.

MAD was always a bluff. Some presidents might have backed the bluff. Obama would not have. Biden likely will not.Putin's brass but not stupid. Mutually assured destruction

That is generally true though and it is certainly true in this case. Putin is neither a fool or insane.The one downfall of MAD as a strategy to prevent nuclear war is both sides have to not be fools, or insane.

A nuclear attack would have, quite literally, zero positive impact for any metric whatsoever for Putin. Putin did not become a dictator of a major nation by being a moron or playing the short game.
He is intelligent and skilled.
If the rest of the world interferes, Putin won't be around....so who cares what he does....he'll be sweeping dead leaves in Red Square...I do not believe that Putin is talking about using nukes, but what if he closes off the oil pipelines to Europe? Winter is almost over but what about next winter? What happens to the price of oil, world-wide? Currently, the global economy is shaky IMHO, what happens economically if the price of oil dramatically rises? Transporting and shipping costs would be astronomical, no?
Apples and oranges.He may think like a Russian, Kill 100 million of us, we kill all of you, and we win.
Yamamoto was intelligent and skilled, and he still couldn't make Pearl Harbor work.
Apples and oranges.
Pearl Harbor was a strategic maneuver that had a chance of gaining them dominance in the Pacific. It failed, yes, but that does not mean said failure was inevitable.
OTOH, a nuclear strike is a guaranteed failure, period. The only thing that would guarantee is a retaliatory strike. Russia can not withstand the world coming down on it and that is a simple fact knows by everyone.
