Nope. There will always be countermeasures. You might be able to stop an attack from smaller nuclear countries like North Korea or Iran if they develope a nuclear warhead and they can only produce 15 or 20 of them....but like Russia or China who have submarines to bring those warheads to just offshore, launch nukes and hundreds of decoys simultaneously or even develop stealth technology, hyper-sonic weapons that can reach their target before we could react or even a reactive armor coating similar to tank armor that can fend off the laser.....

It's a cat and mouse game forever, but it only needs to create an effective enough deterrence the enemy faces a second strike retaliation problem. So you can nuke your adversary and get some warheads through, but the adversary can turn you into full glass desert with zero chance of survival. You know, there are more convenient methods to commit a suicide.
