It will inevitably happen. One day a dumb enough ruler will use it.
But what happens next? Do we just stop there, apologize and go back to our normal lives?
And you’re probably right, the next bomb would destroy that ruler, but only if the receiver has nukes as well. If he doesn’t, who’s going to do anything to defend/avange him? No one wants to enter an nuclear war.
The reciever doesn't need nukes. I live in Canada and we don't have any. But the threat of retaliation from our allies that do protect us from that threat.
If Trump decides to launch a nuke at Vancouver, which of your allies are bold enough to send one his way?
Well, none. He can do whatever he wants.
His government is slightly smarter than him so for now we’re safe, however no one’s going to stop a dictator.
The US probably since they'll also be nuking part of their own country if they did that. The fallout would 100% affect Washington.
You think Trump is smart enough to listen when his staff tell him that?
