Gotta disagree with you on that one - if you had only 1 nuke - and the other guy had more than 1, the other guy would have a distinct advantage.

The other guy could fire his nukes at you and the likelihood of a retaliatory strike was limited because you took out his nuclear weapons.

We’re not quite at the point where we’re talking about the elimination of nuclear weapons altogether, but some minimum level is needed to protect against rogue states and to maintain the deterrence capability.
