Yea i heard about the "balance of terror" theory somewhere, i am not sure if i 100% agree with the logic though@bajingan
That's were the Russian came in, if the American does use nuke on China they wouldn't hesitate to used on them. That's the principle on MAD. a restrain for nuke power country.
It goes like this, the us nuke China, China strikes back by nuking not only us but also russia, which in turn will nuke both China, the us and the rest of the world
The logic goes in the aftermath of nuclear exchange between China and russia, a devastated russia is unwilling to be enslaved by a unscatched us or any other countries not devastated by nuclear strikes
Therefore mad situation even if you are not involved in nuclear war
Not sure if this scenario will really works in real life, but i can understand the logic behind it
