What I meant by that was that for a weapon to work as a deterrent like the US uses their nukes as a passive defence force, you have to use it at least once. That demonstration of power was Hiroshima.

Oh, that was all fine then. I'm really glad that a bunch of Japanese people got killed so that people would be scared of America.

As a result, everyone now has nukes pointed at each other. All countries are pretty certain the other side won't ever push the button, but they don't want to take any chances either. So now we have a nuclear standoff that no-one wants to escalate or back down from. For now it's the perfect balance. Though it would of course be better if there were no nukes at all, which we are slowly working towards.

I don't believe we are working towards that at all. In fact, I can see plenty more nuclear weapons being made.
