Yes, but the good news is that so far it has delayed it. Without nukes, I'm quiet certain WWIII would of happened by now and that the world would be in shambles. I mean think about it, no nukes in existence means nothing to hold Soviet Russia back. It would be a very different world, but by all accounts a violent one.
