With a POD after 1953, make it so that an international ban on weaponized ICBMs is put into effect, in essence severely weakening the state of MAD. In short, war between NATO and the Warsaw Pact wouldn't quickly escalate into total atomic holocaust.

However, nuclear artillery (such as the US's "Davy Crockett") and other low-yield tactical nuclear weaponry are still allowed.

Is such a thing possible, and if so, how would this affect the upcoming Cold War?
