In the grand scheme of things, I have come to realize nuclear warheads are not that fearsome. Thus far they have caused less damage to the surface of the earth than a pimple causes to your face. And the earth is insignificantly small.

They are definitely scalable, but they are certainly no Dr. Device

Interstellar drives are the dangerous bit. The point is that we have a history of being willing to use weapons of mass destruction on our own species. This should make other species a bit nervous.
