Are you suggesting NATO would commit a nuclear first strike against Moscow?

That's beyond insane. I can see Putin doing something like that but NATO not in a lifetime.

I don't think it particularly realistic, I was responding to this sentence:

> If Moscow will suffer a nuclear strike by NATO to decapitate the Russian government, these people will have no kids to care about.

I don't see that happening. If they would do that it would instantly annihilate any support for NATO the world over. First user of nuclear weapons today is going to go down in history - assuming there will be anybody left to write it - as worse than Hitler.

Yeah, I completely agree. It would be the biggest (and quite possibly last) mistake anyone ever made.

That seemed to have happened to the first user, you know?!

It has in the eyes of some. Me included. That should have never happened and I don't for a second buy all the learned opinions about it, it was mass murder and as far as I am concerned it tainted the USA forever.

I don't think any countries will end up untainted in your view. Maybe Costa Rica?
