Nuclear weapons forced diplomacy.
I can understand wanting to get rid of nuclear weapons, but you can't look at the Cold War and say the threat of nuclear annihilation didn't motivate political and military actions.
It definitely played a part... but at the ninth hour when we were on the verge of blowing ourselves to smitherines, it was control and calm that got us through it. That was our first major test with nuclear weapons.
