Mutually assured destruction has worked fine for 80 years, why stop now?

Because the risk here is that permanent military superiority may be achievable without your adversaries having a chance to react, which is not the case with atomic weapons.

I don’t know if you’re being facetious, but last time I checked, the world had not been destroyed by glob thermonuclear war.

So yeah, it has worked.
