The immense gravitational force of nukes unlike any other known human weapon system cannot be denied and cannot be put back in the genie’s bottle so it must be harnessed for good not evil. BUT with 3 superpowers and 1 maybe 2 maybe some day 3+ rogue states plus maybe soon terrorists having nukes, the “game” is very unstable indeed and defies any concept of a Nash Equilibrium!
