We each hold our own opinions regarding whether or not victory is meaningful in a war of mass destruction. Interestingly, some of the most obvious "non-MAD" views on this topic have been written by non Western individuals.

And those individuals always make two assumptions:
(a) their side will make no mistakes, and
(b) the other side will do what their side wishes them to do.
Pretty stupid way to plan a war, if you ask me. (They never do ask me, though.)
Unless you've actually had bullets whizzing past you, fired by people intent on killing you, you really just don't "get" war in any meaningful sense.
I've never seen any of these idiots discuss what to do if their proposed war plan goes sour in the execution.
