Bürgermeister von Hiroshima: Krisen in der Ukraine und des Nahen Ostens zeigen, dass die Welt nukleare ‚Tragödien der Geschichte‘ ignoriert werden

Look at China and India conflicts. Look at India and Pakistan conflicts. Look at the US, Russia and China. These countries take measured and cautious move to avoid an all out war.

Both North Korea and Israel reportedly have nuclear weapons too. No other country wants to provoke either one to the extent that they are forced to use their nuclear weapons.

So, if the middle east counties or Ukraine have nuclear weapons, I believe everyone will prefer to sit down and settle before doing things that may cause mutual destruction.

Hence why some countries want to have nuclear weapons while some (including nuclear weapons ready ones) doesn’t want their neighbors to have nuclear weapons.

Unfortunately, having nuclear weapons shows that it is a good deterrent.

Putin is counting on western hesitation where nuke is concerned and he may be correct. But if he follow through, then all bets are off as the west no longer have nothing to lose too.
