    I know that the politics behind the deployment of nuclear weapons in Korea, but would that be defendable politically without a mobilized public willing to make the use of nuclear weapons taboo?

    Name a weapon banned in war that wasn't deployed in war.

      IIRC a lot of the gasses that were used in WW1 were banned before they were even used, or similar gasses to them were outlawed/banned in a wide blanket.
