if they has nukes it wouldn't be a MAD scenario.
1) they would almost certainly be primitive (compared to ours anyway) and relatively low yield weapons. lots of destructive power, but not enough for MAD.
2) as their program would be very young, they would have few of them.
3) they lack a sufficient delivery mechanism for delivering over the Pacific.
