MAD means that the leaders know they risk their own lives. That's the elephant in the room.

Before MAD, for thousands of years, all the big populations were shaped/educated/pushed into limitless sacrifice for the motherland.

I think if you take MAD away, the "collective security organisations" would quickly break into good ol' alliances.

For most of the thousands of years of warfare kings their armies into battle. Only in the last 500 years or so has that changed
