That’s a really dangerous thought. Certainly no nation should have nukes, but increasing the number who have them just makes it more likely they’ll be used. Civilizational survival is more important than fairness here.
We survived the Cold War because of “Mutually Assured Destruction” and no one in their right mind would let this happen. But it came down to one person disobeying an order at least once. It would be insane to trust the survival of civilization on this assumption
It would be “mad” to multiply the number of ways we can destroy ourselves and believe MAD will save us
The US should be working towards disarmament, and they’ve been going in the opposite direction. It’s hypocritical for the US to demand that other nations not have nukes when they’re stockpiling them.
