"You are aware of the difference between a strategic deterrent and an intermediate nuclear force? And the potential difference in their employment"
I am aware that you can divide forces up like that
I'm also aware that every study, war game and analysis shows that once one side uses nuclear weapons in Europe the balloon goes up and its all over. Doesn't matter if they are IRBM, ICBM's or just N-tipped cruise missiles. The distinction is irrelevant if they are used.
