The Semiotics of Nuclear Self-Assured Destruction
"some physical organ is necessary to make the handling of abstract impressions possible. Such a sensory organ must be closely related to the neural centre for language. For each vague intuitive concept the sharp concept exists all along, only we do not perceive it clearly at first"
Kurt Gödel

MAD posits that, if country A attacks country B, the retaliation from country B will be so devastating that a first strike would be suicidal, while SAD tells us that it would be suicidal for country A to launch a full-scale nuclear attack on country B regardless of whether country B responds in kind.

The idea is not to use a time machine to travel back to a specific point along the timeline in order to prevent a nuclear war. The idea is to send thermonuclear probes into the future, along a closed timelike curve, in order to hit a target located in the past. This would act as a secure self-destruction mechanism. By the time A has destroyed B the last thing A would expect is to be struck by nuclear probes coming from A's own past.

Under a strictly scripted-life scenario, the destruction of both A and B is unavoidable and taken for granted. However, you still have free will: you can choose the exact moment that will happen. That's all you can decide upon.
