that'd be an issue, though nukes are pretty indiscriminate, and wizarding folk generally live among muggles, not in one isolated wizard country, which limits their usefulness. they can't exactly nuke london without destroying diagon alley, and vice versa. plus, you need to know your destination pretty well to apparate, so there'd need to be some more involved infiltration beforehand.

Sure, I'm handwaving a lot, just saying the ability to manipulate minds and teleport to places (even with the kidnapped person) presents an x factor that is hard to overstate.
