Limited Nuclear Options

Limited nuclear options refer to the strategic use of nuclear weapons in a controlled and restrained manner, typically as a last resort or to prevent escalation. Instead of full-scale nuclear war, these options involve targeted, limited strikes aimed at specific military or strategic objectives, with the goal of discouraging adversaries from further aggression. This approach seeks a balance—using the destructive power of nuclear weapons in a way that conveys seriousness and deterrence while aiming to avoid widespread destruction or escalation into full nuclear conflict.
