What a simplistic view???? And how long do you think it would be in today's increasingly volatile unstable world before your sarcastic statement actually became true if NO Western Nations had nuclear weapons?
It is the fact that SOME Western Nations HAVE had nuclear weapons and therefore the ability to RETALIATE that HAS prevented just such a scenario as you sarcastically depict from happening.
Insane despots and Terrorists are all BULLIES and bullies ATTACK others without real reason or justification just because it is in their nature to do so - whether that be on school playgrounds, within the marital home, or on the streets.
It is noticeable though, that VICTIMS of BULLYING are always WEAKER, MORE DEFENCELESS or MORE VULNERABLE than their ATTACKERS - whether that be small children faced by a larger child or a greater number of tormentors, frail old pensioners being 'mugged', tiny children molested by adult perverts, or battered wives at the mercy of huge, powerful partners behind closed doors.
Notice that no BULLY ever tries to pick on someone stronger or more powerful than them? I never see a skinny, drug addled robber ever trying to 'mug' a 17 stone young guy returning from a workout at his gym and carrying his training bag, or some sicko paedophile ever approaching a child while her mum and dad's with her, or any abusive spouse attacking timid partners while three or four of her brothers are present.
It's HUMAN NATURE that decrees the above, and it's HUMANS who control TERRORIST ORGANISATIONS and DESPOT CRACKPOT REGIMES, so they will NEVER attack any WESTERN Nation with NUCLEAR WEAPONS while ever
SOME WESTERN NATIONS have the CAPACITY to retaliate in kind, because bullies aren't built that way.
