Would you push the button knowing the consequences?

The original question is dumb as there's no context, most people wouldn't launch a surprise nuclear attack on a large foreign civilian population, most people would press a button in retaliation to a nuclear attack on their own country. If you aren't willing to retaliate to a nuclear attack, then likely you are the reason for the original attack.
The US Military is funded and set up specifically to be able to fight against Russian and China at the same time and win, it's part of their mantra, like the Royal Navy used to be so powerful that if the 10 navies below them ganged up, we could still win.
I believe you slightly exaggerate the RN as the quote used to be that they wanted to be #1 and more than #2 & #3 combined

Yeah my bad, it's called the two-power standard and indeed was supposed to be bigger than #2 and #3 combined
Marks calendar.. I got something right from memory
Ah the good old days of the Empire eh?
the guy probably gets more credit than he's do though.
the computer only detected 5 missiles the guy was probably wondering why only 5 ? it makes no sense, it wouldn't wipe out the whole of Russia.
USA had like 10,000 warheads back then a real strike would likely have been thousands of missiles all at once.
he must have knew something wasn't right.
There was also a submarine the americans were trying to force to surface with depth charges and some of the people in the sub wanted to launch a nuke thinking they were about to die.
I think it was 2 out of 3 people but one managed to calm the others down

You mean "credit than he's DUE"
But 5 missiles detected and him applying common sense IS the point... Common sense that a computer couldn't apply (at that time)
Don't the politicians realise that just one's enough?

They're like parents in a very bitter divorce and always arguing and trying to outdo each other and the rest of the world're the kids caught up in the middle of it all.
Considering theyre the three most powerful countries in the world, they're not setting much of an example are they?

USA were the first people to test a hypersonic missile something like 2008 or 2010.
seems like they gave up on the tech until russia developed it.
it's crazy how much money is wasted on military stuff, you can argue it pushes tech forward but the money could do so much elsewhere

Like I said in the opening post 'may you and the other politicians rot in the radioactive, chemical and biological hell you've created. and who's going to vote for you that the vast majority of the world's popunlation're dead becuase of your pride?"

It's not the generals, the people or the officials, it's the politicians. Putin, Jinping and Biden think they're playing that PC Game DEFCON 1and can always have another game or just walk.
away after the counter in the game reaches the cataclysmic unavoidable global nuclear war.

Except that France has more nuclear warheads than China so why weren't they in the mix. Also the UK only has slightly less than China.
