It is a bit scandalous, but among the first words in French I ever spoke in France figure:
--"Où est le ATM?"
--"Marlboro, rouge."
Enough to make me miss smoking. A bit. Could've been worse. I could have said Camels.

And I fully expect the rejoinder here to be something along the lines that we don't need strategic forces if they cannot deter everything or we wouldn't use them. That's quite silly and cut from the same whole cloth that conflates deterrence with severity or effects.

I dunno. Trading New York, Fairford or Aviano for those hundreds of Russian tons of yield sounds implausible. Frankly answering how far down the ladder of escalation we want the shadow of deterrence from strategic offensive forces to fall says in no way we'd not attack.

Apart from one Shoigu comment in 2017 and a tiny bit in the MILDOC, I cannot recall reading that a goal of conventional force modernization is to reduce Russian nuclear weapons. That's an effect but not a policy or doctrine any more than E2D may be. They retain forces regardless.

Conventional force modernization and deterrence in Russia isn't clearly about shifting away from nuclear options because they have conventional ones suitable for the same missions. That may be an effect not a goal. It's so hard to tell while the relationship is so very bad, now.

If Russia really feared megatons in devastation in reply to a few hundred tons of Russian yield detonated on or over NATO soil, or believed we would really go to full commitment over just one such blast, bar none, they have done very little to show it, or even try to show it. pic.twitter.com/ifuIN5neDt

I understand the targets.
I understand that if you took away Europe, some US nuclear weapons may not have missions, but you know what? Russia may not mind taking Europe away, drastically reducing its TNW energetically doing so.

US bombers are taxed, and not all of them are available now, quite apart from war. Even assuming B-21 does deploy in a decade (per public reports), LRSO is, as well, and we suffer less on the way to Columbia class, theater reassurance and extended deterrence is better with W76-2.

Moving things to a theater takes time. I cannot characterize US B61 missions in this format or enumerate ad seriatim, but there can be times when what is already in a theater might not be capable or available, in particular if NATO air forces are already engaged in war.

V. tenuous reasoning from Chairman Smith on W76-2. Whether or not Russia uses a smaller weapon first as matter of doctrine is superfluous. They have many TNW, and can. We do not and may not be able. Forces make options, not doctrines. Forces carry out missions, not doctrines. pic.twitter.com/0n5ZOIag33
