For real, I think a very hard look at the War in Ukraine should be in order.
A nation, perceived to be a superpower with crazy capabilities, exposed as a paper tiger with a few good tricks.
The Germans, wrapped up in their own bureaucratic mess and seemingly shrugging their way through.
The Japanese whose focus is balance never escalation.
And western old school non-networked weapon systems showing strong results.
I think the media(mostly fiction) has made us fear future war concepts. I don’t think nations are really capable of doing it for one reason or another (another being progressive escalation to MAD)

In the end, always assume their nukes will work.
