Oh I don't disagree. However a war that starts conventionally, lets say a land war between Russia and china wouldn't instantly go to city busting strategic weapons use unless one side or the other was truly in the can.

You would probably see tactical small nuke use. Chemical weapons use. But I think both sides would more then likely settle into a conventional land battle as both sides have too much to lose by escalating to a civilization destroying barrage.
