    The project to make nuclear war more thinkable is going to get a lot of people killed.https://twitter.com/adamjohnsonNYC/status/1506123557323083779 …

    NYT trial-ballooning “tactical” nukes here, a longtime hobbyhorse of a particular subset of natsec weirdos who want to warm us up to nuclear threats w/o looking nuts. NYT did this in 2016 as well, it’s a classic genre: handwringing liberal concern w/ a wink to “ok, but what if?” https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1506095895577870341 … pic.twitter.com/z4NrOu1rqd

        It’s mostly marketing too, the idea of a “surgical” or “smart” nuke 50% the power of Hiroshima is absurd on its face

        Either you think Putin responds to nuclear deterrence (and then it doesn’t matter what we do short of a nuclear launch) or you don’t (and then it doesn’t matter what we do at all.) Appeasement isn’t the solution, Jeet
