Yom Kippur War.  Arab states banded together and attacked what was widely believed to be a nuclear armed Israel.  Possession/threats failed in this regard.


How many failures can you risk?  One is one to many in my view.  You have to be able to answer this question if you believe in deterrence.  What happens if deterrence fails?  If you cannot answer that question, then in my view you have a fundamental problem.
