Id disagree with your reason for why we had nuclear weapons during the cold war. It was not to prevent them from invading Europe and Asia, cause if we nuked Moscow while they were invading a country. They'd just respond by sending a nuke at one of our major cities, which would start nuclear war and eventually destroy the planet. We only had them for barganing chips

Well, then, John Foster Dulles and Jack Kennedy and Robert MacNamara disagree with you.

We had them as deterrents.
