Comment on US ‘Gets Its Ass Handed to It’ in Wargames: Here’s a $24B Fixparent

Isn't a hot war what nuclear deterrence is supposed to prevent?

No a nuclear deterrence is supposed to stop a nuclear war.

It doesn't help anything if you're both operating below the nuclear threshold.

The nuclear threshold is being able to land nuclear bombs in the most strategic cities of any country, not carpet bombing them. USA already has that capability and more.

I mean that literally doesn't even make sense as a sentence... the threshold for deciding to use nuclear weapons in a given situation... is being able to use them in a particular way? What?

Just tell everyone your nuclear threshold has changed to save $24B ;)
