NATO was founded in 1949 to counter the Soviet Union and its Warsaw Pact. During the Cold War, NATO countries generally believed that nuclear ** was the main means of preventing an attack by the Soviet Union. However, with the end of the Cold War and the changing global situation, NATO gradually abandoned its policy of nuclear deterrence in favor of more "conventional" military means.
First of all, NATO, as a military alliance, has close military cooperation between its member states, but whether it dares to use nuclear ** needs to take into account the consequences of a nuclear war and the reaction of the international community.
In terms of consequences, the impact of nuclear war on humanity and the planet would be catastrophic, including massive loss of life and property, long-term environmental pollution, and global social unrest. Such consequences are unacceptable not only for NATO itself, but also for the entire international community.
Judging by the reaction of the international community, the use of nuclear ** will trigger global condemnation and sanctions, and may even lead to a military counterattack and an escalation of the war. Therefore, NATO, before using nuclear **, must take into account the reaction and consequences of the international community.
In addition, NATO needs to take into account the interests and strategic considerations of its member states when using nuclear **. Although NATO members have close military cooperation with each other, there may be differences in the relationship of interests and strategic considerations between countries when using nuclear weapons. Therefore, NATO must conduct full consultation and coordination before using nuclear **.
To sum up, whether NATO dares to use nuclear ** needs to consider a variety of factors, including the consequences of a nuclear war, the response of the international community, and the relationship of interests and strategic considerations between member states. Therefore, NATO will not use nuclear ** lightly, but insists on resolving differences through dialogue, consultation and cooperation in the process of seeking a peaceful settlement of disputes.
