You guys make a solid point about MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction). Fear of complete annihilation is indeed the only thing keeping egoistic dictators and regimes in check right now.
But relying purely on the "rationality" of armed psychopaths holding nukes is a high-stakes gamble. It only takes one miscalculation, one rogue regime, or one technical glitch to end humanity. Nuclear deterrence is a temporary bandage, not a permanent solution.
That's exactly why we need to move from a "balance of terror" to a legal global framework that structurally binds these weapons and superpowers under strict institutional rules, which is what this project aims for:

If we want true deterrence that doesn't put a gun to humanity's head 24/7, we must talk about upgrading the global system itself.
