If nuclear deterrence worked during the cold war should it not become a policy for many nations in the post -cold war era?

In today's post-cold war atmosphere, the concept of deterrence, specifically Mutually Assured Destruction, does not fit congruently with international relations, military and otherwise.The deterrence that existed in the cold war assumed certain conditions which may not be applicable in today's conflicts. For example, cold war deterrence assumes that leaders truly care about the survival of their subjects, and that there are no rogue leaders with access to nuclear power who would initiate a first strike without contemplating the return of fire. Besides these reasons, there were many instances when deterrence, though coming through in the end of the day, (the Cuban Missile Crisis) almost failed humanity. The answer to the question then, is this: plausible, but not a good path to go down if it can be avoided. Bottom line is it worked in the Cold War but came very close to failing, and it requires inherently unsafe conditons.
