I'm struggling to see the similarities with nukes to the point I'm not sure what to put forward as a key example of why they are different. Following with your call out though yes, nukes stopped being something you could do to further your position and turned into something that is very negative for everyone's position a long time ago. Even before this point nukes seem like a completely different dynamic though, they only move you "forward" in use by moving the other side back making the average worse and you can't exactly use them against a section of a population rather other geographic groups as a whole.

The only similarity I can draw is that both have been restricted internationally.
