As far as I can tell, it was mostly a recognition that nukes are a bad idea for everybody, but if you already have them, and your rival already has them, then neither one is willing to give them up completely. I think nukes took off, with the recognition that they weren't a good idea coming considerably later. Not certain, though.

See, I get that rationale, but the thing is, I find it quite insulting that the powers that be expect us to accept this rationale while they kept improving their own nuclear capabilities with the development of higher yield warheads, hydrogen bombs and tactical nukes. This clearly tells us what they really think about having nukes. Sapator states it quite clearly and I agree fully:-

Global power 1o1. We got it you don't, we set the rules.

I would feel a whole lot better if they just said it out loud instead of keeping up this "greater good" pretense which they should know that no sensible person would actually believe anyway.
