Come on, Kat, use your noggin.
One nuclear weapon is a bad thing.
Two nuclear weapons is a slightly more bad thing.
Three nuclear weaspons etc......
Given that there is effectively zero chance of convincing the USA to give
up its nuclear weapons (or China, or Russia, and effectively UK or France
as well...), the best way to keep bad things from proliferating is to keep
additional countries from adding themselves to that list.
Of course, at this point I would point out that the USA has made more
ethical advances in the past 100 years than any other nation - but you
never seem much interested in addressing that point.
