You can't park here sir
mostly the major nuclear powers use conventional army's to slap smaller countries aboutBut if nukes are so good at preserving the peace, why not give them to everyone? Oh yes, the current possessors of nukes are all such stable, rational geezers. The ones who don't have them can't be trusted with them, naturally. Doesn't make sense does it?
If MAD really worked, the major nuclear powers wouldn't bother with large conventional armies to defend themselves against other major nuclear powers' large conventional armies. Why bother? The fear of MAD would deter any aggressors.
