I'm pretty sure Beliathon was the guy who posted the thread about cutting off his ability to have children (forgive me if I'm wrong.) I wouldn't listen to the decisions of a man who has no stake in the future, i.e. someone who has no intention of having children. Someone whose genes are so poor as to have no desire of spreading is bound for extinction, and will take everyone else with them if they follow. Just look at Merkel's decision-making ability, she's committing national suicide, but she doesn't give a shit, her genes aren't going anywhere anyway.
I never understood this logic, so I can't help you. But this was the official explanation given by the NATO, when they provided the nukes to Israel. So I assume, they will do the same when the nukes are delivered to Saudi Arabia as well. Perhaps the thinking is that the possession of nuclear weapons will act as a deterrent preventing future attacks.
You are correct, it is a deterrent. It works the same way as cactus spines, skunk spray, bellows, guns, et al: it deters enemies from bringing harm, except in this case it's just on a very large scale, it's only meant to deter equally large entities i.e. other nations.

Please explain the application of nuclear weapons for defensive purposes, I have never heard of such a thing!
Are they putting their nukes onto superfast superaccurate space-missiles so they can use them to shoot down incoming enemy ICBM's from secret stealth satellites in low orbit?
Or is it a ground-based nuclear-fusion laser of some sort?
