I'm not a fan of this idea.
If we'd not had nuclear weapons during the 1970s, it's more than likely that the USSR would have overrun Europe.
Even now, our nukes serve as a deterrent against Chinese aggression. They may not deter fanatics who believe that a suicide mission will get them paradise and 72 virgins, but they do indeed deter the leadership of other nations who risk everything by engaging in an act of aggression against us. Nor do I believe that Russia or China or the European countries should disarm.
I believe that nuclear arms have deterred many more conflicts than they've caused.
