The other issue is they've been stockpiling these fucking things for 70 years. If someone launches a nuclear strike its not going to be just one. It's going to be hundreds or thousands at once. Especially if you have some sort of defense system likely to get some or most of them.

Theres a reason they call it mutually assured destruction.

No one has added new weapons in a while. And much of all countries nuclear stockpile is dated, and much of it is nonfunctional. Hell, Russia has been taking nuclear warheads out of cruise missiles for use in their current conflict.
