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.

A couple of things you seem to not consider.
1: Nukelear warheads are attached to advanced missiles. The tech has continued to be developed just as the counter tech has.
2: Nukes arn’t JUST missiles
Russia has some pretty scary nuclear torpedoes that are quite difficult to counter.
3: Russia has a LOT of nukes.
If you manage to shoot down 9/10, there are still enough getting through to basically destroy anything they want.
