In the case of nuclear missiles, this is entirely a good thing. If both sides can just maintain Potemkin nuclear arsenals we'll achieve gradual disarmament through obsolescence.

We might hope that at some point in the early 2100s, somebody will notice that none of the nuclear missiles work anymore, and with any luck, the engineering knowledge to create new ones will have been lost.
