colonise mars, venus, luna, mercury, wait for next solar event (tiamat etc) and then drop some nukes once the global emps go down.

During the Cold War? Able Archer 83. Of all time? Norwegian Rocket Incident.

closest we ever came to deliberate nuclear war was the Cuban Missile Crisis.

other non-deliberate incidents were a series of radar hiccups and false alarms dotted through the 70's and early 80's.

also the advent of nuclear weapons is mostly seen as a deterrent rather than a tool, no one benefits from winning a war if 1/3rd of your population dies in a 6 hour exchange. Safely to say, there would have to be some extreme situation to warrant a nuclear exchange that'll end up in no one winning.

the like three times the russians almost fired missiles against american soil but stopped because somebody nearby had common sense and guts

Also cuban missile crisis would have not ended on nuclear war, just war as it is.

Nukes would have been always the last resort
