When the first nuclear weapons were produced at Los Alamos under the Manhattan Project it is obvious the US perceived such an accomplishment as one of a kind. That is, that they, the US government, would lead, as well as dominate the world in military might. It is hard to apprehend why they presumed the rest of the world would sit idly by and just let them [the US] dictate the rules of life based on the rules of war. Since they now had the atomic power to crush a nation without much ground-fighting or risk to human life.

Shortly after careful study and testing at Los Alamos New Mexico from 1942 to 1945, and the bombing of both Hiroshima and Nagasaki, in 1945, the US government learned that its enemy the Russians had the atomic bomb. Suddenly the game changed. No longer did the US sit atop the realm of the atomic mountain of mass destruction alone, but thereafter they had to share it with the Russians.

And down through the years they have continued to misjudge other countries equally eager in producing a nuclear bomb for their own protection in an otherwise hostile world. Is this equity? Is it okay for the fox to raid the chicken coop, while all the other foxes sit idly by and go hungry? I don’t think so, and neither should the American government. One kid can’t have all the money to buy all the candy in the neighborhood candy store. Some other kids will have to have a chance to acquire money and buy too. That is just the way the world has become today.

Now other developing countries want atomic protection in addition. Why shouldn’t they be any less equipped with the bomb? Even if it gives you a false since of security. That is to say, that as proliferation moves ahead, an even greater risk of nuclear annihilation is ever looming on the horizon. There is no other way to assess it. And even though the big countries with atomic weapons know this, they are powerless to stop less developing countries from aspiring to better arm themselves against a nuclear war, in which, they realize they will be defenseless if they don’t acquire the technology needed to build the A-bomb, the N-bomb, the H-bomb, or Thermonuclear technology.

To deny other countries the right to possess weapons equal to the weapons the superpowers possess is a form of world Imperialism. This type of game theory strategy is the underlying factor that is driving nuclear proliferation throughout the globe. The psychology that only the superpowers are divinely worthy to have nuclear weapons of mass destruction is falling on death ears. No one wants to be without an ace-in-the-whole, so-to-speak, in this nuclear day and age, or in a time of a world war. Or think of it this way, your friend has a nuclear bomb, and you want to be like your friend; so you want one too. Or your enemy has an atomic bomb, and you want to be like your enemy; so you want one too.

Imperialism, espionage, the meddling in the internal affairs of others, usurpation, enslavement by military means, military intimidation, the establishment of puppet regimes, the turning of one country against another by lies and deceit for the ultimate takeover, has all occurred in the past to stop weaker countries, by stronger ones with nuclear weapons, from the achievements they have attained,
[the stronger ones] that is, the military power to destroy an entire city. And to prevent these smaller weaker countries from being the masters of their own destinies in this global society by any means.

The wanting of nuclear weapons by less developed countries such as Iran or North Korea, is not uncommon a desire. Why shouldn’t they want to protect themselves from those that wield atomic power? That is, to prevent, or deter a nuclear preemptive strike. What is wrong with that? What we have here is a double standard, which these smaller less developed countries no longer see as sustainable, and moreover, as they see it, both morally and militarily wrong. There is only one way to stop the expansion of WMDs, weapons of mass destruction, and that is for the superpowers to begin comprehensive denuclearization now, and can the UN crap, or be run over by the smaller countries with an inexorable political will, and money, to develop nuclear bombs for their own self protection. And as destiny has in the past provided the knowledge for a few to acquire nuclear weapons, destiny will for many in the future.
