Not agreeing or disagreeing but this is a poor argument. First, it's not like wars of the size and intensity of WW2 happen often, so a lack of similar action since then isn't surprising. Second, the lack of use may be partially explained by threat of repercussions. Are you not aware of standoffs like the cold war? Third, agreements between nuclear powers to not launch under almost any circumstance.
