A little banal since the tech is not new. Forward-deployed low-yield nuclear weapons are a little easier to use than their large strategic cousins. NATO and ex. Warsaw Pact deploying low-yield, low-time-to-target land based cruise missiles reciprocally increases danger of nuclear exchange substantially.
