The best option is to get the hell away from the assholes.
Every time I get angry at some idiot on the road I calm myself down by thinking "I should get the hell away from this guy" instead of escalating it further like my mother who used to get in all sorts of pointless trouble afterwards.

The other option is mutually assured destruction. Probably works at the micro-scale as well.

We have proof of the contrary. There is quite a lot of reports about ppl killing their partners (children, family) when abandoned and then committing suicide. I'm not saying that you should not stand your ground, I'm just saying that your are making dangerous assumptions, some ppl can be irrational or just overwhelmed with emotions. With micro-scale MAD 2 ppl die, with a large scale one you just need 1 person go crazy and it's over.
TBH I'd never believe that the real reason for avoiding ww3 was MAD.
At least you can maintain your dignity by defending yourself, even if it's supposedly not the best option.
