Quite simple. When you are the only one armed to the teeth, it gives you a
lot of power. Being in power feels GOOOOOOOD. Now, if you would allow an
other country to have those weapons too, that country might use those
weapons to take your power away from you so they can be the only one in
power. And that would be BAAAAAAAD...
