Truly, if there is someone who believes a nuke war is winnable because we only have 1,500 nukes they are not thinking straight to begin with..

Communist dictators don't usually think straight as a rule. Look at how many people Stalin killed off 11-12 million in his purges. Then went on to take another 26.5 million casualties in world war II. And was ready to come after us at the end of that. The Soviet Union only had 197 million people in 1940 so the loss of 5.5% to purges and 13.4% to World War II didn't even make them blink. A combined 18.9% losses and the devastation of half his country and he was ready to take on all comers within a matter of months.

It wasn't out ability to cause Russian casualties that stopped him in 1945, it was the fact that he couldn't hit us as hard as we were hitting him. The communists are always willing to trade man for man. Casualties only stopped the Soviets when the number went to 100% of their population. Then we had their attention. History has shown that to a communist government like China loosing 7-15% in order to destroy a major rival has been no big deal. Heck to them its birth control.

7% to 15%....sickness, starvation and disease post irradiated globe will serve to kill the majority. Never mind the global economy will be destroyed....Again, just pointing out how absurd it would be to think if only 1,500 nukes they could win...There is no winner unless presiding over an all but dead planet is being a winner.
