I know that we are all told that "no one will ever use nukes because if one person uses it then everyone would use theirs and it'd be WW3 blah blah blah", but I genuinely don't think that'd be the case. Unless a nuclear nation attacks another nuclear nation, I'm pretty sure everyone else would just end up letting it happen to avoid getting involved. I don't doubt there would be political uproar, both from populations and governments around the world, but I really don't see an outcome where anyone else would actually choose to be the one to intentionally insert themselves into a nuclear war for the sake of another nation. Like if Russia were to nuke Ukraine, or China nuke Taiwan, or Israel nuke Palestine, or the US nuke any South American nation, etc....I really think the rest of the world would just condemn their actions and then eventually move on like they always do. All it would end up doing is setting up a new precedent of normalizing nuclear attacks by imperialist nations, so long as another nuclear nation isn't involved. Which is arguably scarier than the current belief.
