The United States and Israel intend to use nuclear weapons.  All they have to do is create a situation that justifies its usage. This is not a sudden decision. It is part of a plan covering more than a decade.

The United States has been losing its economic power while others have gained on them over the decade , and now the world is on the tipping point. The only option now is to destroy their opposition.

Look at the timeline. Prior to this time period, even mentioning using nuclear war was off limits and unspeakable. How would the public react?

Earlier in the decade, trial balloons were launched.  Use of nuclear weapons as remedy for less-than-threatening situations has become commonplace. Note that the public showing no concern, serves as permission to go ahead.

All that is needed is adequate tension in the world to have a reason for dropping the bombs.

The current war is not what it seems on the surface. The purpose is to start a complete deal-breaking conflict. That will usher in the planned game changing war.

So, the US can’t easily win this war and reasons given are not worth the risk. Don’t think that is the intention. The goal is to use the US/Israeli war as the catalyst to start and win a huge war that will extend their level of power into the future…. indefinitely.
