Right... which means that every regime knows they have to become a nuclear-armed country.

Absolutely, this has been clear for a long time. Countries are only truly sovereign if they have a reliable nuclear capability, otherwise they are always at the whim of another country with a sufficiently powerful military.

  • They need the military either way. There's no country that just has nukes and nothing else, except for North Korea, see how that's going for them.
