Re: nuclear war
Deterrance is a concern. But there are other countires with the capability to strike Russia, and now have justification to do so. Shouldn't they be the ones to determine what type of world they want to live in? Just a thought.
The difference between 1&2 is that in 1 the dictator is still expected to hold power and a nuclear strike could be limited to removing him for the betterment of the world. In 2, depending on the circumstances you could assume that he would be out of power very soon without the capability to attack other countries, where as a retaliation from the Us could cause him to decide to hit all US allies as well.
