        To make nukes offensively useful, you need to have enough to bomb the other countries nukes before they launch. Only USA and Russia have enough for this, and there is also nuclear submarines that ensure a follow up strike. Places like the dprk just need a few so they can ensure that the us wont invade them. More doesn't make much difference until you get a lot more.
