What nuclear weapons are fantastic at preventing are the regular border skirmishes that counties have fought since the invention of territory. It used to be that counties were constantly gaining or losing land to their neighbors and sometimes even ceasing to exist or appearing out of an existing country. Maps would be constantly in flux. These days situations like that are rare. The Russian annexation of Crimea and the breakup of Yugoslavia being the notable exceptions. All of which did not involve nuclear armed powers (at least on the losing side).
