I mean, nuclear weapons aren't really defense. They're offense (in my opinion at least) since if your country is invaded where would you fire them? At yourselves? At the country that is invading? What's the use when they already got here?

Nukes help to prevent war.The UK and France are the only European countries to have them.They imo are one reason we are unlikely to be invaded.If it was'nt for nukes there's a chance we would be part of the Soviet Union now.Mutually Assured Destruction has probably stopped us having a third world war by now.
