Theory of mutual deterrence becomes obsolet,when religious fanatism eliminates the fear to die. Mutual deterrence theory is based on the "equilibrium of Powers" It does not work efficiently for Peacekeeping politics,when there is no perfect Information about real military potentials (own and others).Believed Superiority might cause an attack with convential weapons.A nuclear war has no winners at all.Mutual deterrence therefore is the Strategie to prevent the total selfextinction of all mankind.
If you have a nuke no other country would want to mess with you thus "deterring" them from attacking
