Would this be the first direct conflict between two nuclear powers? Plenty of proxy wars in the past, but I can't think of a time where two nuclear-capable nations went at it like this.

I thought this when the news broke, apparently they already had an undeclared war in the 90s

Who knew this was where the third nuke would be used.

Trick question: everyone over 40 who pays attention to world politics knew. During Clinton they used to brag to each other how they’d win a nuclear war on the nuclear deconfliction line.
