I don't think this adds up. The AGI blocks will have AGI kill bots and those that don't won't have a choice about what they will or will not allow.

will have nukes.

Doesn't matter how much "intelligence" you have stockpiled when nukes start raining down on you.

Unless the AGI is able to develop effective defences to intercept an incoming nuclear attack.

MAD is a belief system. It doesn't matter whether AI can effectively stop the retaliation, it is enough that people making the decisions believed that it can (are we there already?).

But MAD means you can't use them. It might save you from an all out killbot invasion but it doesn't stop asymmetric warfare or being cutoff from the rest of the world.

Well if your baseline scenario is that swarms of marauding kill bots murder everyone then yeah, this is all moot.
