America maintains nuclear weapons primarily for deterrence, aiming to prevent potential adversaries from engaging in aggressive actions due to the fear of catastrophic retaliation. These weapons serve as a cornerstone of national security strategy, reinforcing alliances and stability among NATO and other partners. Additionally, possessing nuclear capabilities allows the U.S. to influence global nonproliferation efforts, promoting arms control and international security frameworks. Ultimately, they are seen as a necessary measure in a complex geopolitical landscape.
nuclear deterrence - the idea that if you attack me with nuclear weapons then I will attack you back with nuclear weaponsmutual assured destruction - the idea that if you attack me with nuclear weapons then I will totally destroy you with nuclear weapons and if I attack you with nuclear weapons then you will totally destroy me with nuclear weapons - thus any nuclear attack by either party will result in the certain destruction of both parties

its not the UN, its the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.
