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.

That’s why the USSR was mad at Regan’s ‘Star Wars’ defense program…. The USA would have had missile countermeasures but they did not have them.
Thing is there are just sooo many missiles. It’s down a lot from Cold War days. (late 1990s Soviet Union had 39000 nuclear warheads). Plus you have Submarine launches which can be from anywhere and wouldn’t have any warning time.
