I know we’ve been told nuke scare, but these people have clearly lost their minds. I feel like they might really nuke some shit. Anyone else feel like this? Will it just be a scare or will there be an actual event?

The first thing we did?
It was 4 years later and the US did not even have nukes when attacked.
Does developing nukes count as a thing, how about the Doolittle raid, Iwo Jima?
Unrestricted submarine warfare, Island hopping, the Solomon Islands, Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Marianas, Coral Sea, Midway, the Aleutian Islands, the liberation of the Philippines, Okinawa?
So maybe not the first thing!
Edit :- "Nobody threatens to nuke somebody if they’re going to nuke somebody."
Wasn't the entire doctrine of "Mutually Assured Destruction" based on this very idea, the implicit threat of a nuclear strike given certain red lines?
