Nukes are the very thing that kept us alive for the past 30+ years, purely because they exist. If it weren't for the MAD scenario, the cold war would have boiled in a matter of months, and full-scale war would have ensued. Strategic nuclear weapons were, and still are a great deterrent of attack.
Why the US doesn't want any more countries with nukes is rather obvious: they don't want competition.
