That is also only a supposition. It is not proven. Russia and the USA have been allies for a lot longer than the have been cold war opponents.As to MAD, not only has it been stable, it has prevented a general wide scale conflict between the Great Powers for over 70 years.
-----MAD has almost failed more than once. And it is not proven that nuclear weapons have prevented another world war. That’s just supposition. At any rate, the destruction of a conventional WW III does not compare to that which the world will experience in the coming global nuclear war.-----
If the US unilaterally disarmed, it would steadily lose influence and ultimately it would slip under the control of another power.
