Mutually assured destruction is a 100% perfect deterrent. Why would a country fire off warheads at another knowing that by the time they were halfway to their target, the other country would have fired back themselves. All you'd get as the first strike country is about 30 min of being top dog before YOUR con tie was blown back to the dark ages as well
thus....no major nuclear war will ever happen 2c

The only problem is that "country" won't decide that, the hieharchy usually ends up to one guy. Like Adolf Hitler. He thought that if the Germans are not strong enough to rule, they deserve to be wiped out. I don't think he would have hesitated so much. We can just hope that the nutjob leaders are surrounded by some reasonable guys, those will either convince him/ her otherwise or take command.
