Mutually assured destruction is a belief that a nuclear war would completely destroy both sides.

What is Mutually Assured Destruction?

Mutual assured destruction is a term used in military strategy and in national security policy in which a full-scale use of nuclear weapons by an attacker on a nuclear-armed defender with second-strike capabilities would cause the complete annihilation of both the attacker and the defender.

This means that if two countries are nuclear armed and they both engage in a war, both countries would be affected.
