the problem is trying to deny other nations nukes while having nukes yourself seems very hypocritical and the people of countries lacking those nukes will always feel unnerved about it. Yes if every country in the world has a nuke that drastically increases the chances of a lunatic getting access to a nuke and causing shit to happen, but at the same time it is very hard to convince nations to not make their own nukes when their enemies have nuclear weapons of their own. But no, having a nuke isn't equivalent to invincibility. Unless a nation has hundreds of nukes hidden throughout their countries and the ability to launch them accurately at great distances they can still fairly safely be invaded and destroyed by a superior force.
