And ABM system can deal with that and then you have a reasonable cause
for war.

Well when you say "..all Nuclear weapons NOT owned by the US..." you
take in more than your examples.  I don't think the British, French,
Russian or Chinese are just going to hand them over.

nuclear exchange there might not be very bad.

Clue, Nuclear wars even big ones can be survived.
