So, I was watching a YouTube video (Two Minutes Till Midnight by Aperture) and it in, he said that if two superpowers like the Untied States and Russia ever go to war and use nuclear weapons, that’s it for humans. If they did this, they would both go all out and try to cause as much destruction as possible to each other. So, why are nuclear weapons not banned when they have the capacity to destroy all life on Earth?
Edit: Thanks for the quick responses. I feel I get it a little better now. Have a good day!

Because humans are selfish.
If one country was to be nuked. The choices are. 1) mutual destruction( because they are different and we don’t want them ruling the world)
2.) Do nothing. ( now all my friends and family will die and the guys who did it will get off scot free)
When thinking about that amount of destruction, you feel scared and anxious. So you kinda want to protect yourself. One solution to that is again, possible mutual destruction to scare them.
2 build better defenses. But that is actually more expensive than the weapons themselves
