The thing that scares me is that the talk about nuclear escalation is becoming normalized. A few years ago, any use of nuclear weapons was a big deal and taboo. No we have both sides talking about "tactical" nuclear weapons like it is no big deal really. It's like boiling frogs. While a tactical nuclear weapon doesn't have the same destructive power, the tit-for-tat nature of war will lead to incrementally larger nuclear devices being used.
I almost get the sense that the people in power are resigned to a nuclear war happening and want to normalize the idea to avoid mass panic.
