Best Answer

Historically, nuclear weapons have served as a deterrent to violence with the concept of mutually-assured destruction. This means that a nuclear attaick would result in a nuclear attack in return that would jeopardize your own citizens. As a result, this has prevented conflict. However, mutually-assured destruction only works as a philosophy if both governments actually care about their people living. If there is a government that believes its righteous citizens would be better off in heaven, this might change the philosophy we will have to engage for nuclear weapon defense.
