As much as I'd like to agree, I think you give far too much credit to some world leaders.  A nuclear war is most likely to start through accident, miscalculation, and/or sheer stupidity.

It's apparently easy to convince others, that it's not "dishonor" but honorable to conduct yourself in destructive activities during war.
In WWII the Japanese conducted suicide kamikaze missions using airplanes and miniature submarines.
Today, organizations that distort/warp the Islamic religion (ISIS) convince many of their followers to blow themselves up, or ram trucks and planes into areas to kill many.

So the definition of "dishonor" and honor is not easy to ascertain. Each individual will see it differently. Both Kim Jong-Un and trump have levels of mental illness, so who is to say how they see "dishonor" in their future (possible nuclear) war plans.

Leadership is irrelevant to a man of honor deciding not to do a first strike wjile knowing if he does, it will get all those he  loves killed.

Exit-stage-left, for me.



Ditto.  There's little point in trying to have a discussion when it just generates the same responses over and over.
