What if a fanatical leader has them? Castro said he would have nuked the US if he could and didn't care if Cuba gets destroyed. ▶ this video
During the Cuban Missile Crisis Castro was certainly ready to use them and certainly ready to suffer the consequences. Clip from Fog of War ▶ this video
Maybe that was the conventional wisdom at the time. Later we found out that wasn’t as true as we would hope. ▶ this video The movie this clip is from and the companion book are much more detailed about the realities of the time and the though processes of those world leaders.
