My point is entirely a pragmatic one. If defeat against a nuclear power is inevitable, why prolong human suffering??

Wait? Now you've lost me with this one.
Are you saying that " 'X' Country has nukes. They will use them at some point. Since said nuke use is inevatable... we should hence allow 'X' Country to... do what ever it deems fit."
Maybe?
Cheers.
Not at work.
I don't know. Why did Putin invade Ukraine? Answer: They (Ukraine) wanted to join NATO. If that happens someday, what's to prevent NATO from stationing nuclear weapons in Ukraine?? In the early 60s, President Kennedy threatened nuclear war over the Soviets trying to pull a similar trick in Cuba. Do you think that Kennedy was merely joking? Or, was he serious??
