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.

Well most nuclear powers get real antsy when you start funding a defense system that would effectively make their biggest threat a dud. Something about removing themselves from M.A.D. giving them an unfair advantage. I may be misremembering this but about 20 years ago the US was planning on putting a bunch of money into antinuclear tech and either Russia or China(maybe both) were treating it as almost an act of war.
