ICBMs with nuclear weapons create such eminence Holocaust the major powers are afraid to use them thus afraid to have a war with the other. It called mutual assured destruction. It's been analogized to each party having thousands of matches in a room filled with natural gas. If either lights a match both die. This does, however, seem to promote the proliferation of smaller scale more traditional was, like Korea, Vietnam, etc. where each party can avoid direct confrontation with the other.
