The problem with your thought. It only takes one accidental signal as seen in Hawaii a few years ago to start and simultaneously end the war. When you launch you launch it all. That is their war game. There are no half-measures in nuclear war. One for all, all for one.

There is a change in that attitude. Today, there is an addition to the pill factory at Los Alamos as well as a new pill factory being built in South Carolina. Why would we need to build not only replacements, but new pills if they don't believe they will use them? I stopped believing weapons are deterrents. I think End Stage Capitalism demands it. I wrote/writing a story Run to the Light about nuclear war with China over Twain. I started and re-wrote it fifty times in a way we don't end ourselves. Then the war on Russia triggered (there is a pun here, nuclear trigger).

One of the first sci-fi based books I read On the Beach, please read it. We have learned nothing.

Warning though, I wouldn't read in bed. Caitlin's fellow Australian author Nevil paints a picture unlike the movie.
