>> Think of the MAD defense that won the cold war.

MAD didn't win the cold war. MAD was the policy of containment which failed for all those years.

It was SDI, in which Reagan said, "We are not going to accept containment" that won the Cold War. Reagan took office with the specific intent of bringing the USSR down with an aggressive strategy that worked.

Get a clue or don't bother.
