Ban nuclear weapons? How big an Army do you want to maintain without nukes? We have fewer brigades now than we had divisions during WWII. Last time I checked, the PLA was pretty damn large and without the threat of tactical nukes against massed formations, our troops would be heavily outnumbered. Instead of banning them, we should be investing in newer, less damaging mini- and micro-nukes with reduced blast that we could employ near the FLOT to even the odds, so to speak. Every Cold War scenario in Europe had us going to nukes within 3 days and I shudder to think what the landscape would’ve looked like if we had fought WWIII with Honest Johns vice the brilliant ordnance we have now…but perhaps I’m just an unrepentant Cold Warrior…
