Interesting point.
But I counter that it was the first technology created that made the concept of a winnable war between soveriegn states unwinnable, and therefore there was the benefit that this technology and these weapons actually created a understanding between two completely different and at times hostile and incompatible political systems that in any other way were destined for an inevitable showdown.
