1 - Threat of Nuclear War is fundamentally different from Nuclear War - this is sad 3RU7AL
It is impossible to have a nuclear war without the capability and credible threat of a nuclear war.
It is impossible to have a nuclear war without the capability and credible threat of a nuclear war.
AND while maintaining the capability and credible threat of a nuclear war it is impossible to simultaneously fully mitigate the risk of an ACTUAL nuclear war.
The threat (and the benefits of a threat) are inextricably linked to the likelihood of actual nuclear war.
AND nuclear war is NOT somehow either more or less moral than any other type of war.
(IFF) any war is justifiable (THEN) nuclear war is justifiable
It is impossible to have a nuclear war without the capability and credible threat of a nuclear war.
Capability AND threat - oh, and the threat has to be credible? This is an obvious extrapolation from your first suggestion
AND while maintaining the capability and credible threat of a nuclear war it is impossible to simultaneously fully mitigate the risk of an ACTUAL nuclear war.
Because Nuclear war and the threat of nuclear war are different - the threat of nuclear war is simply not suffcient to justify ACTUAL NUCLEAR WAR - you have lost sight of the subject.
The threat (and the benefits of a threat) are inextricably linked to the likelihood of actual nuclear war
The cons of a nuclear war FAAAR outweigh the benefits of the threats of one - one is mass destruction - the other is getting countries to back off of petty deals.
AND nuclear war is NOT somehow either more or less moral than any other type of war.IFF) any war is justifiable (THEN) nuclear war is justifiable
Demonstrate that claim, and this is begging the question of course if "ANY TYPE OF WAR" is justifiable then nuclear war is justifiable, nuclear war is a part of "any type of war", any type of war is what I don't accept - this is a sad collection of non-sequiturs and false equivalences.
