The way I see it, in the economic climate we're describing, the MAD theory comes into play - if you bring out the nukes, everybody brings out the nukes, and we're all dead. You don't want to do that! If the arms race starts back up, we are back to the eleventh hour.

Or "nuclear winter" could stop things.
