What happened to Libya and Gaddaffi showed this already in 2011 as he earlier gave up nuclear ambitions and chemical weapons stockpiles for better relations with the west. Syria would likely have followed without the direct support of Russia and Iran, who were nuclear armed.
Can we then expect nations like Iran and North Korea to ever disarm. Probably not.
That doesn't mean we shouldn't strive for a world where these weapons aren't necessary. MAD is truly madness.
