I don’t see how escalation, or threat of escalation, is any sort of path forward when nukes are involved. To make some sort of assessment that “he’s not crazy enough” isn’t something to mess around with.
Also, if your threat is empty it won’t be acknowledged - and if the threat of nuclear action is real, then so would the response.
