The most remarkable fact of nuclear history is that the bomb has not been used in war since 1945—a 77-year tradition of non-use. And this tradition is not merely the result of luck but of effort.

The precedent the world—and Russia—has rejected

Vladimir Putin asserted that the US use of atomic bombs at the end of World War II “created a precedent” for the possible use of nuclear weapons in the war in Ukraine. Putin is wrong.
