You just described the cold war :) I don't have any larger point, but found it interesting.
What does a war between two nuclear-capable nations look like? If they can nuclear bombs, doesn’t that mean their first strike weapons are all nation killers? If we assume they still primarily use cities as the sites of their industrial and population centres then doesn’t that mean any city within striking distance are immediately obliterated by large, dark, unstoppable projectiles? Any point defence you can think of fails when you can easily throw thousands of these at a nation. There’s no way to win that game for either side.
