Are nuclear weapons necessary for protection?

Some countries don't need nuclear weapons, but some do. If the US had no nuclear weapons, the U.S.S.R. would have crushed all of Europe, and perhaps the US as well. When you are a world power and do not have nuclear weapons, you lack a small but vital "chip" to use as leverage in the "big game" of world "control" or "domination" or just "directing" the course of world policy.
