"Thing is tho, given the historical facts, those been used were never last resort."
Clealry when a nation today is faced with the prospect of being overtaken and destroyed by a foreign power, the last resort would be to use nukes in any way to try and stop that power. We never had such a prospect in the past simply because nukes were not around when countries were overrun. This time around it can be different given the enormous power that can be unleashed by nukes, tactical or otherwise. Let's hope it never comes to that.
