It's more about the threat, isn't it? If the other side believes you might be suicidally crazy, they might not want to fight the war, even if otherwise it would be a one sided victory.

The threat indeed, why we had a "nice" cold war, instead of the human ending one. I think both sides would have some amount of them. Not sure how that would play out since we've never had a large scalce war between two nuclear powers. Have only had small limited area, limited troop skirmishes. Like USSR/China near Mongolia and Pakistan/India at various border points. And even more limited is the India/China border skirmishes, that dont even have rifles, but rocks and sticks.
