Yes, I know its not really that feasible.

Edit: If a nation does not fear retalliation due to this protection. Then the second strike capability is dramatically weakened. Thus making nuclear weapons a real option for the country available again

    Nuclear armed nations already have a viable defence against nuclear weapons in the weapons themselves. The central principle of MAD is that every nuclear nation maintains reasonable second strike capability ensuring that if they are ever struck by nuclear weapons they can hit back in kind which acts as the ultimate disincentive to ever striking the nation.

      right, this person is basically saying that if a country develops a tech that defeats MAD, they become the most powerful country.

      That tech would give them the ability to strike without fear of retaliation.
