The wild thing is we still have thousands of nuclear weapons, and the number of nuclear-armed states has grown since then. We just perceive a lower risk now-a-days, which I hope holds up.

We're more aware that in a situation where a local council has to take over your garage for decontanimation

1) You wouldn't have a local council

2) You wouldn't have a garage

The number of overall weapons has decreased by thousands. The coldwar is over so the risk nuclear war is lower.

More nations have weapons but the numbers weapons they have is very low and the ability to hit the US doesn't exist for the rogue nations.
