Honestly? It’s a great deterrent. Have you heard of a nuclear power being attacked for real? Ukraine disarmed voluntarily and see where that got them. Everyone should get nukes and threaten everyone (or „warn” if you’re Israel).

Mexican standoff nuclear doctrine, you’ve heard it here first.

MAD only assumes inevitability of retaliation. Mexican Standoff doctrine adds complete global proliferation so that nobody can be bullied.

You can insaneify this further:

Not only have total nuclear armament for every country on Earth...

Every country on Earth also employs Israel's Samson Doctrine.

Which is: If we're going down, we are sending a nuke at every nearby capital we can, ally, foe, neutral, doesn't matter; if we can't exist, no one can.

And that guarantees they’re never going to be existentially threatened. Now let’s have that for everyone so it’s actually fair.
