They may make us uncomfortable but nukes have prevented significant wars. 

Since aircraft-bourn nuclear weapons were introduced, something like eight of these devices have been "lost" in oceans too deep to make their recovery practical. If you add the missiles that were onboard destroyed ICBM submarines (which - I've read - are rarely officially declared by any of the superpowers, due to the "sensitivity" of the information), I think we should be extremely uncomfortable about their existence.   

 

I agree that nuclear weapons have prevented a major war since 1945, but - as you have alluded to - they have certainly not prevented the super-powers from fighting "proxy" wars in numerous smaller, less-powerful nations ever since. Maybe mankind is simply pre-disposed to destroy itself..?

In case anyone is thinking of going to Lakenheath soon, the BBC weather app is predicting 41°C on Monday and 42°C on Tuesday. It’s pretty exposed around that area. I managed to get heatstroke there last September!
