Israel is unclear on the question, but it’s widely assumed they, too, have nukes.from the Federation of American Scientists. Along with the United States, which has around 3,800, the two nations hold about 90 per cent of all nuclear weapons in the world — about the same ratio as at the end of the Cold War.

The logic of mutually assured destruction continued for the Cold War, and it's still with us to this very day
