What would happen if a nuclear power attacked another one with conventional means? Would the defending nation retaliate with nukes (which would mean they're gonna get nuked themselves) or would both sides limit themselves to conventional warfare? Kinda like how both sides refrained from using poison gas during WWII. In other words, is a full-blown conventional war between two or more states who have nuclear weapons possible?

They might refrain from using nuclear weapons at first, however when one side starts losing they will turn to the nuclear option. They might either threaten to use nukes to force a peace, or actually deploy them if that fails.

The consequence would be the annihilation of the remaining territory of the losing side (and possibly also that of the occupied areas). This seems far worse than the consequences of losing a conventional war

You're probably looking at another cold war scenario. I seriously doubt any world leaders today would have the balls/stupidity to use nukes even on the losing end of a war.
I guess it depends more on who you're talking about, really. Anything first world would probably not use them.

India and Pakistan, genius.

How did such a shit country manage to get nukes when most advanced countries didnt?

China gave nukes to Pakistan because Russia gave nukes to India to try and contain China.

Any good resources on nuclear conflict?

You never know really.
Ahmadinejad, near the end of his term, asked bout the nuclear programme said:
“Let’s even imagine that we have an atomic weapon, a nuclear weapon. What would we do with it? What intelligent person would fight 5,000 American bombs with one bomb?”
It boils my blood to see how dumb Americans are for slurping up pooganda so easily

I think nuclear is the last resort. The side being invaded can be like "Yo we got nukes dawg, turn back now or we hit yo country"

LOL Look at the contact email on that picture.
I don't want to meme but..

His point was that ahmadinejad knew that he would have to sacrifiece Iran for the destruction of Israel and thought of that trade as foolish because he was a zealous shiite but not some terror funding wahabbitard.
>>1205003
Do you guys actually believe he'd drop one on Israel? That's a suicide wish not only for him, but for everyone in Iran. Do you really think any conservative in politics today has the animosity to do something that stupid?
