Nukes in this day and age seem to me like they should effectively be obsolete. I feel like in the age of satellite observation and the idea of geo-privacy being basically null, every developed country ought to have anti icbm tech, similar to an mrap. Short of mass amounts of dirty bombs, I feel like nuclear war should be a non issue in modern times.

We’ve got treaties against the militarization of space ever since the US tried to do their “star wars” thing with weaponized satellites. This was because of how it would disrupt the Mutually Assured Destruction balance we had created with nukes. So if a country like the US could just use weapons from space and nobody else could, that would completely mess up the MAD-balance.
