And how many dictators want to create a small nuclear arsenal these days? It’s the only way to keep others out.
I mean, we basically have two classes of countries - those who do not have the power to catastrophically end all life on earth and those who do and sit at the big kids table. The first group is routinely used for dick measuring proxy wars., until they develop nukes and get to join the second group.
The thing is, the MAD doctrine works. We enjoy relatively more peace than we had before.

I’m pretty sure that the current situation in Ukraine proves that it works.
