Which nuclear powers are at war with one another?

#26This is an excellent deal for Finland, whose sovereignty is protected. Is it the same for the US? Do I want an attack against Finland to be considered an attack against the US? An attack against the US can unleash the end of humanity. I find very risky to leave this at the whims of some out of touch Russian dictator.
So the small countries exist and if they cannot rely on big countries for protection against nuclear states, then the only way forward for them is to have their own nuclear weapons. Do you like that world better? Does it lower or heighten the risk of unleashing the “end of humanity”?
I don't accept that dichotomy despite I see value in the argument. Since the invention of nuclear bombs, how many countries without nuclear weapons have lost their sovereignty of those surrounding Russia?
Btw if it's either NATO or nuclear bombs, why didn't Finland get nuclear bombs in the last 60 years?

Not sure that is relevant as I thought every major party in Finland agrees with joining NATO?

Sweden would very much like to join NATO, it's Kurdish bees in Erdogan's bonnet and a pro-Russian Hungarian dictator lite that are holding them up.
