So, in absolute magnitude Nukes win, in terms of practical impacts on our daily lives, streets have a bigger impact.

But, let's not forget there is a crazy in power with nukes threatening to use them frequently. We even had one here say, "Why have nukes if we don't use them" (paraphrased). So. maybe they are a realistic concern to everyone...
The comment "Why have nukes if we don't use them" that was reported by Joe Scarborough as third hand information has been discredited.
