And nukes have been rather good peacekeepers after the invention of those, so you cant really say that inventing new weapons doesn't make one safer.
The other person explained it rather well.
But in the face of annihilation, every possible advantage will be used. It's that simple. Long term and moral consequences are irrelevant, those can be dealt with later, but first one has to get to that later.
If you want to get really personal aka hammer in the point. You can imagine someone who already has broken into your neighbors home and done horrific things and is now breaking into your home and already starting to abuse/hurt/rape your loved ones. There is no police. Would you not use every single possible method to protect yourself and your loved ones? Or would you have philosophical discussion with the invader while they're raping your wife/daughter/sister or cutting off the balls with a box cutter of your husband/son/brother. Those aren't even made up examples, those are real examples with videos.
