I heard President George Bush state at the beginning of the Gulf War that the US had not ruled out the use of nukes in that war. That is a credible threat in my opinion. The threat in the Korean War was even more direct: http://www.centurychina.com/history/faq7.shtml "On May 19 1953, the Joint Chiefs recommended direct air and naval operations against China, including the use of nuclear weapons. The National Security Council endorsed the JCS recommendation the next day. Dulles, the Secretary of State was visiting India and told Nehru to deliver a message to Zhou Enlai: if peace was not speedily attained, the United States would begin to bomb north of Yalu, and US had recently tested atomic shells.
