I think that this argument is drifting in the direction of "nuclear war is
winnable". So what if 50% of the people aloive today would survive? Having
50% of your population killed (or any number of this magnitude) is NOT
winning a war. And this is aside from theories of nuclear winter, which
is certainly not freezenik soviet propaganda....
