OK, let my try typing more s.l.o.w.l.y. .... ;-)
Why is it OK for us to stockpile nuclear weapons? There are two main
reasons that we feel justify it: the deterrence factor (MAD), and, in
the case of their use in WWII, to avoid even greater losses in a
protracted conventional war. The question is: if these are valid
reasons for the US to have/use such weapons, why are they not valid
reasons for Country X to have/use such weapons?
