That's not the point. Why does Russia and the USA have nukes then? Would they use them? The media seems to think people like Putin are crazy enough to do anything, yet even he never does anything that crazy. The nukes are mostly a deterrent and a push for negotiation. 

The bigger picture is the military and citizenry capability. When your nation doesn't see defense as a priority, this is the kind of thing that can happen. It's part of the reason why no nation would dare try to make landfall on American soil. Even if you gave the American military a run for it's money, you'd have tens to a hundred million armed Americans to deal with. It's just not worth the attempt. Yet if you wanted to invade Ukraine, what's stopping you really?

Paranoia and ego. They should follow the rest of the world and get rid of them. There isno need for weapons that can destroy the whole world in minutes.

Well it's not like they're exactly cheap to make or maintain, so why wouldn't they all have tossed them in this world of efficiency?

Maybe they're not that useless. Isn't Iran and NK still doing their damnedest to make themselves a nuclear arsenal? Why?
