What are the pros and cons of having nuclear weapons in your world?

Nuclear weapons are used primarily as a defensive threat. Basically saying "you can't attack us, because if you do, we'll turn you into a radioactive hole in the ground." So using them as a threat to prevent nations from attacking is their main "pro." The cons are that they really only work against nations and large entities (as a defensive threat). They don't do much to discourage small factions or terrorist groups, since we cannot possibly hold through with our threat of using them. They also have a lot of cons if actually used, in terms of loss of life, long-term destruction of the area they hit and the uproar that will come from the world after its use.
