How can you “win” a war when the other country can press a single button and eliminate 100% of the people in your country?

Well, bring it down to the personal level - that's like losing a fistfight but comforting yourself that you could go and burn the other person's house down any time because you have a tank full of gasoline at home. I mean, you could, but that wouldn't unbloody your nose.

Because they won’t hit that button. Just look at how Vietnam won.
