let's not forget in this discussion that a long costly war does not necessarily entail nuclear strikes. you can certainly have one without the other. to base your argument on the assumption that there must be nuclear strikes it to base your response on premises that the discussion wasn't meant to assume.
i hesitate to get into the raw technicalities of war-making capabilities, as i think the discussion would get lost in a sea of trivia. but, take it where you will...

If you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
