Why do people argue for nuclear disarmament when history has shown that nuclear weapons are the only thing preventing a major war between two developed nations?

Why is logic accepted as the means to truth? Why should I trust in logic?
you cant even define truth without citing logic
but logic is any set of consistent ideals so it is theoretically subjective
Logic = thinking using truth and facts.
