Well, they originally wanted to convince them to stop early. That ship has sailed.

It was during the era where most ppl thought it would be good to get rid of all nukes, to not destroy half the planet over an incident between two nations.

As russia has shown the world by attacking Ukraine, a nation absolutely needs nukes (or a trustworthy ally with nukes) to protect itself from russia. It's sad, but we entered a new era of mistrust.
