Yes, it's realistic in terms of deterrence. Nuclear weapons have protected sovereignty for states like North Korea (no invasion or regime change since 2006 tests), Russia, China, and others—unlike non-nuclear Iraq or Libya. Deterrence prevents great-power attacks, per mutual assured destruction logic.
But it's not a full solution: it brings sanctions, isolation, tech hurdles, and no guarantee of prosperity or internal peace. Countries weigh this trade-off strategically.
