Of course not. Nobody's that stupid.
It's odd your news source is RT, a propaganda network owned by the Russian government.
It's odd because Russia lost the Cold War and its entire Soviet Empire rather than lose a shooting war with NATO nations, which includes the US.
If anyone would be so fearful of nuclear war they'd do anything to prevent it, you'd think it'd be Russia.
While planners on both sides of the democracy vs communism Cold War believed conflicts between nuclear-armed nations could be fought without resorting to nukes, there were no guarantees.
Which is why there never was a direct confrontation between Western freedom and Soviet communism.
No.
Only a few countries even have nukes, and none of them are stupid enough to use them due to the massive collateral damage that would follow.
The time for nukes has passed. Computer guided bombs are far more accurate and effective than an indiscriminate nuclear bomb. Nuclear bombs were only effective as deterrents by nations to prevent all-out war.
Today's conflicts which are more centered on very small localized fights in and among civilian population centers, make using nukes about as unsuitable as using a hand grenade to kill a fly in your house.
The US has to make sure their arsenal of nukes is in operable and modern condition to act as a deterrent.
Too many other countries are flexing their muscles to allow the nuclear weapons program to fall behind. It is the Mutually Assured Destruction threat that keeps nuclear war from happening.
There is no reason to believe nuclear war is in the near future.
No, you have a greater chance of being struck by lightning.
