As A Leader What Would You Do?

[Wenin]

just because the States is too afraid of not having their big club with which to menace the smaller nations of the world?

What country has the US menaced with nukes?
I'm sure North Korea FEELS menaced, but KJI is likely menaced by scary bedtime stories.

Or too afraid to let someone who isn't an ally have weapons of mass destruction?

Ummmm yes. You're fine with your enemies having nukes pointed at you?

Who says the US should have weapons of mass destruction?

Seeing as we were the first to invent the "bomb", it's a pandora's box kinda thing. Once you got them, they themselves say you can have WMDs... until someone bigger gets brave and tries to take them from you.
