If country A, a nuclear power, wants a “buffer” between it and another nuclear power, then why shouldn’t country B (a “buffer” target of country A), want protection against country A?

It is all far-fetched. No country is actually a “buffer” between nuclear powers unless we are talking about Mongolia. Of course, Mongolia is quite far from this topic but for the last 20 years it is clearly not in an alliance with either bordering nuclear power against another.
Surprisingly it is not suffering from invasions so far.
Nations in question you are talking about probably should take notes.
