In this context it isn't, the point I'm making is that the war that the two superpowers would have fought would have been with the much more capable weapons of the Fifties and Sixties.

The Vietnam war was a "limited" war yet that much more was dropped by the US.

Imagine a full on conflict in Europe, it wouldn't have been nuclear but the end result would have been the same.
