I agree as well, I did link to the denial
But I think it is clear that he is eager to use nukes, this is something confirmed by his former staff and his own statements, and threats...
That said, I should have awaited confirmation...
He even floated the idea of nuking a hurricane... something that is often given to physics students as a problem to determine if it makes sense as a possible way to disrupt a hurricane... it doesn't, of course, the energy scale of a hurricane is orders of magnitude greater than any nuke... all you dois add extremely small percentage of energy to the hurricane and make it radioactive.
He would love to use nuclear weapons...and as we have seen he respects war crimes, and threatens genocide...
