"In this paper, I argue using a simple game theory model that a first strike with tactical nuclear weapons will, under certain conditions, lead a non-MAD Nash equilibrium with an one-and-off gain for the party enabling the first strike. This should be taken as a serious warning against any escalation between nuclear powers."

...or, this should be taken as a serious opportunity by narcissistic ding dongs, like Putin or Kim Jung Un, to more librally consider gambling with the future of humanity if it means there's even a slim chance that their evil asses can remain alive, fat and happy while the rest of the world suffers. Nice advertisement. Is the author vying for a seat at the right hand of the devil?
