Ever heard of MAD? Mutually assured destruction, it means that two nuclear powers are, with todays technology, unlikely to ever attack each other with nuclear weapons as they know that they too will be attacked with nuclear weapons.
Any war between two nuclear powers is more likely to be fought by allies and also economically, technologically and culturally. In other words the cold war.
