why do you believe the world's dominant weapon system - nuclear weapons - have not been used since nagasaki?
Well for one, until about 1964, there was only one real nuclear power, the United States.
Since 1989, there has not been a reason for any major power confrontation.
So though WW2 ended 70 years ago, only 25 of those years (1964-89) truly featured situations where MAD would've been applicable. And during that time the U.S. and U.S.S.R. lurched from one major confrontation to the other in 1967, 1973, 1979, 1983.
