Would civilian population centres be specifically targeted in the event of a nuclear war?
Posted on
Hi! I've been interested in the subject of nuclear war and I have a question about nuclear doctrine. I THINK this is the correct subreddit to ask this question, but I'm not sure.
In modern-day nuclear doctrine, would civilian population centres be intentionally targeted in nuclear strikes? I've heard people say no; that modern nuclear doctrine is mainly centered around the destruction of military targets, in particular other nuclear bases/silos and bases, and that there's not much purpose in specifically targeting civilians. So unlike in the past, the idea of cities being targeted just because they're population centres is less likely? Please let me know if this is correct.
