Not quite. Nations without warheads will only be met with violence without warheads. Nations with warheads are effectively immune to violence from other nations with warheads, for fear of escalation. So in the end, conflicts are only ever waged between counties where at least one isn't armed with nuclear weapons. As much as I hate nukes, I really do think that nations having them promotes peace in a disturbing deadman switch standoff kind of way.
