But I don't live in any of those places. Also I believe India-Pakistan has nukes too. And possibly Israel-Iran. North Korea too? The peace loving nations are well within fallout range.

My biggest fear with MAD is that it only takes a single irrational leader, and we've seen so many of them lately.

I don't want to jinx it, but even the most deranged leaders don't want to rule over a nuclear wasteland. And they especially don't want to go down in their history as the worst person who ruined everything for their party.

No, but some might have a "take the world down with me" attitude.

Putin himself. If it looks like Russia is going to lose, he has expressed an attitude of "If I lose, so do you."
