Nukes made sure that couldn't happen by being so horrible that nobody would ever use them...or take risks that might provoke their use by the other side.

But anyway, it's still ridiculous that you're THAT afraid of them. Personally, I love nukes. I thank God/Allah/science that we have so many of them because it means war between states is more likely to remain limited (if it occurs at all). Nukes have, indirectly, saved more lives than they've taken.
Well. I learned something today. Nukes aren't that bad. Thank you Matt.
