Okay, so maybe suits would defend against bio. Generic protection against nano seems a lot harder though as it seems like there could be many attacks against the suit, but I could be wrong here.
However, it could also win via hacking, although maybe you can defend by producing an unhackable system.
Or it could use manipulation, but perhaps we deploy an AI to monitor all communications for signs of manipulation.
And even then, I’m not sure I got all of the possibilities.
The challenge is that there are many different ways to neutralise an enemy and an AI will pick whichever path is weakest. And I’m pretty sure at least one path will end up looking pretty weak.
It’s AI vs AI. Human world powers have their own and enormously more physical resources. So “attack them where they are weak” can be done but it doesn’t pay off if the weaker party doesn’t win immediately and is crushed by the retaliation.
That’s what makes a world where multiple parties have powerful means of attack semi stable. It’s the one we exist in.
Space suits and bunkers are just an expansion of what we already did to prepare for a nuclear war. It’s a way for most of the population to survive if the weaker party gets the first shot.

Same concept as a submarine loaded with ICBMs.
