During the worst days of the Cold War era, both sides would realize the peril and would find a way to back away from the abyss. Our modern day laptop warriors seem to have lost that fear, finding it a bit cowardly.
Our modern day laptop warriors grew up playing video games. They have died many times. There is nothing to it. That is their reality. They are as stupid as they are insane. They are fifteen-year-olds trapped in forty-something year old bodies, suffering from He-man syndrome.
The formerly classified "Essentials of Post-Cold War Deterrence" by STRATCOM in 1995 suggested the very opposite of sanity.
US-officials, the document said, should project a crazy, unpredictable persona. That, the draft concluded, would be in the interest of the state holding the power, unsuprisingly.
We must be ambiguous about details of our response (or preemption) if what we value is threatened, but it must be clear that our actions would have terrible consquences

While it is crucial to explicitly define and communicate
the acts or damage that we would find
unacceptable, we should not be too specific about
our responses. Because of the value that comes from
the ambiguity of what the US may do to an adversary
if the acts we seek to deter are carried out, it
hurts to portray ourselves as too fully rational and
cool-headed. The fact that some elements may appear
to be potentially out `of control´ can be beneficial
to creating and reinforcing fears and doubts
within the minds of an adversary´s decision makers.
This essential sense of fear is the working force of
deterrence. That the US may become irrational and
vindictive if its vital interests are attacked should be
a part of the national persona we project to all adversaries. (...)"
It would be interesting to see how such official record made public again would be talked away by US legacy media in the light of their usual Putin talking points.
World War 3 has begun and is ongoing. We all believed that it would start nuclear and be over in an hour and a half. However, that is not how it has gone, up until now. How much longer we have until the nuclear part begins? Who knows? Not me. I am happily amazed that any of us are still alive.
Pls avoid interviews w this "Pasta" guy. He was not even listening to you. Watch his interview recording. Unimpressed compared to any other person interviewing you that I've listened to.

Speaking of an WMD-power acting "sane":
