Maybe although nukes aren't wholly controlled by the bourgeoisie it's actually run by a bunch of Curtis LeMays and 18 year old key turners.

At this point it's kind of like chekhov's nuclear war. It's gonna happen at some point

No. The taboo against nuclear war was established by the modern bourgeoisie (and the social-imperialist Soviet regime) to discredit proletarian revolution. The lie is that nukes are so uniquely destructive and dangerous that class collaboration and quietism are necessary to preserve the survival of humanity.

The truth is that nuclear war is inevitable, desirable, and eminently survivable for an educated and prepared proletarian vanguard.

If the porkies could find a way or make psyche themselves to believe that they would be personally isolated from the primary and secondary effects of a open ended nuclear exchange, where they could reap all the benefits of the elevated rate of profit and possible elimination of geopolitical rivals, without any the downsides. If that were the scenario, they would have probably launched the nukes already. So it's unlikely to be coordinated push towards it. Doesn't mean that they can't get high or ideology, desperation and warmongering and start a conventional war that ends up turning into a nuclear war.

I still think that the greatest buffer against nuclear war, after Russian and Chinese nuclear deterrence are the US military brass who actually have to plan for humanity ending wars and who then push back against the civilian wing of the US state machine, who would have burnt the planet x10 over by now with delusions of assured US and western victory in any and all possible conflict scenarios.
