The nuclear age has had its advantages. There's only been one overt conflict between nuclear-armed countries, and that was India and Pakistan in the late 90s (after their public tests). The threat of total annihilation will have that effect
I'll grant that i'm actually rather opposed to the Cold War mentality that exists between us and the Russians (both powers should realize that they have little to lose and a lot to gain from overt cooperation), but nukes have been an excellent guarantor of global security, especially through the artificial restrictions imposed on who *can* be a nuclear power. It helps keep rising countries down (except when they choose to buck it like India, Pakistan, Israel, and North Korea have)
