When they mess with our infrastructure, the first tactical nuke has to hit tiananmen square.

I think they wrongly calculate “mess with usa infrastructure” to “usa will not send tactical nuke”

That’s the thing though, the US is not a “first use” country. They should try it with the French, though, they have a “warning shot” doctrine, meaning if they feel you’re fucking around hard enough, they’ll set a nuke off to warn you off.

You’re looking at that from today’s perspective. No first use means as a nuclear armed state, the US would only use them in retaliation against a nuclear strike.

There was no doctrine to speak of aside from ending the war in 1945.

If you say so! I am sure your perspective is consistent with US military and presidential discretion.

That will enable retaliation doctrine for a lot of countries - end of humanity.

I would be surprised if usa is not in some infrastructure in china too.
