He is not insane and will not risk upsetting his happy little reign by doing something suicidal like attacking with a WMD. Apparently you don't understand do you Shiloh?? The Soviets never used a nuclear weapon either. But look at how many people died as the US and Russia were locked in a cold war fought on the territories of dozens of peripherals states.
