Wars are not quite being fought with nuclear exchange at the moment.

We used atomic warfare on the Japanese as a response to their aggression in Pearl Harbor and beyond. After that, the world pretty much signed a treaty.

Russia threatens it and even uses non-nuclear ICBMs in the Ukraine theater, but to use and detonate an actual nuclear device is going to change the world for Russia forever. They're not going to make any friends. It might be a time of end for the federation. Putin knows that, and I think he is being careful about what actual choices he makes vs. actually doing it.

A nuclear war is going to dramatically change the way all of us live. It's not going to be good at all. It's going to be horror on many different levels, and whatever we've done to try to make the world better, environmentally, will be in vain.

What I mean is that is there would probably be another second world war if no nukes. The US would have to invade Russia, but, of course, that's never worked.
