Needless to say, this particular idea from a post over 16 years old is far less refined than how I would put it now.
Given that it explicitly dealt with the matter of nuclear weapons vis-a-vis radical Islam (Ahmadinejad-era Iran, specifically), the current situation with Russia/Ukraine is not applicable.
As far as Russia is concerned, MAD is still very much a reality.
Understood, just asking questions.
Appreciate your thoughts.
