Its common sense in the name of national defense, regardless of what country you are. |
I disagree. I think as long as the technology exists to give nations further power, they will seek it out. Let's not pretend this is about defense because it really isn't. Everyone realizes that in this day in age if a nuclear weapon is used it will more or less institute MAD.
If every country who had nukes suddenly and completely disarmed tomorrow, it wouldn't erase the history or concept of nuclear weapons. Anyone seeking power would realize that "Gee, if I had a nuclear weapon when the rest of the world didn't, I would be in a much greater position than I am now." That's the motivation.
