How did the idea that both the US and the Soviet Union needed thousands of nuclear weapons actually make the world safer?

Well the general idea was a thing called "MAD" which was an acronym for mutually assured destruction. The idea, as crazy as it sounds, was that if either country launched an attack both would proceed to completely destroy the other. Sometime in the 1960's the think tanks came up with the idea that they could replace MAD with a program that linked every countries money to everyone else. Thus started the free trade agreements. The idea being that if we were all linked by economics we'd be better neighbors and work things out together. It replaced MAD but many scholars today, especially with the world economy as it is, believe it was naive and hasn't worked.
