I concur... I spent some time in the '80s Cold War actually assessing and modeling nuclear weapon effects as part of designing B-52 systems training simulators and other DoD projects (my relatives often joked I'd become a "Man in Black"...).
It was quickly obvious that the entire concept of "nuclear war" or "nuclear exchange" was a fantasy in cognitive dissonance. The idea it was a "war" rather than a collective murder-suicide, at least. All us engineers would gather periodically to watch Dr. Strangelove and play "spot the real life character we'd met".
