It's not game over for the world if e.g. Russia nukes some remote part of Sweden/Gotland with a low yield bomb tomorrow.

Realistically, if Russia were to use nuclear weapons, they would completely lose Indian and Chinese support, the last two nuclear powers currently playing nice with them. So long as something debilitating is the consequence of nuclear weapons, Russia will abstain.
So which propaganda should we believe? The Gotland story that all pro-NATO people use today, or the MAD story from the cold war?
Perhaps not the one that the Russians and Swedish extreme leftists are peddling.
