I don't want us to give up the nuclear deterrent juuuuust yet.
"We do not have nuclear weapons so that we can wipe out the planet in the case that someone launches a nuclear strike against us. All that would do is turn an awful situation into a total apocalypse. Rather, we have them so that that situation can't happen in the first place. The threat of our nukes prevent others from using theirs."
MAD, like the monarchy, is an absolutely stupid idea that has the unfortunate habit of somehow actually working.
