I know what you're saying but nuclear weapons have been used. There's no guarantee the use of one or two will lead to all out nuclear destruction (yes, I know the WW2 situation was unique). But if only one was detonated in war tomorrow that would be the third such use, not the first.

Well, the country that dropped the first two just so happened to be the only country that had them in the first place. So that's entirely irrelevant.

I don't see how it's irrelevant, it set the precedent for their use. They have been used, that's done and dusted, any use now will be the third use in war. If you think precedent is important, that's not irrelevant at all.

To my point, they were all used. I imagine they’d all be used in short order again.
