It was a good thing that USSR eventually developed capability to make effective retaliatory strike on U.S. mainland. It made MAD possible and generally decreased probability of an all-out nuclear war.
Unfortunately it made the probability of a huge conventional war that much higher. Water under the bridge now, but we were lucky to avoid it I think.
