Nuking anything is never the right decision unless you're heating up some leftovers. There is no such thing as a justified mass destruction weapon.

That’s not true. Terraforming Mars with nukes could be pretty cool, too.

It’ll maybe make Mars inhabitable eventually(tm). It’d be really cool to watch, though.

Achieve disarmament by launching all nuclear weapons on Earth to detonate on mars. Then wait a few thousand years for radiation to dissipate.
