how many countries are allowed to have nuclear capabilities and how are they chosen?

Answer 1

Every time you suck Americas balls you get a nuclear reactor. Every time you let America do you up the wrongun you get a missile.

Answer 2

Interesting question.

The countries that developed nuclear weapons in the pre world war II era were the pioneers of this industry and are now considered the rightful owners of nuclear weapons. A few countries were added to the list simply by virtue of being a rising nation, super power and on the winning side in WWII.

1- U.S.A
2- Soviet Union
3- France
4- England
5- China

A second tier of countries were able to develop nuclear weapons at later stages and for some reason the super powers accepted this fact!!, please take into consideration that the nuclear non proliferation treaty stipulates the laws which govern the development of nuclear weapons. There are a few countries that refused to sign it and thus, no one can really blame them from a legal perspective.

- Pakistan
- India
- Israel

All 3 developed nuclear weapons and are not under any legal or political pressure to get rid of them or at least stop making them.

Answer 3

After WW2 there was a race to have nuclear arms. 5 countries acheived this first. USA, UK, USSR(Former Russia) France and China. They are now the 5 permenant members of the United Nations. We all generally know that a Nuke war would wipe us all out. The UN will do their upmost to prevent any other nation gaining nuclear weapons and causeing another Cold War or worse WW3.

Answer 4

Dont know the official answer but it seems if the US doesn't want you to have them, your not having them.

Any country that could pose a threat to the World is normally "sorted out" by the US, who have seemed to have gained a monopoly in the defence/offence/ability to go to war market

Answer 5

You steal or buy the technology to build one. You build one. You say b*****s to the international community (and the USA) who will try to convince you to stop - then you are in the Nuclear Club. Easy!

Answer 6

those that are democratic and have relations to the U.N and those that always say they want to destroy other countries,if the build nukes,the UN.US will condemn as usual without doing anything

Answer 7

Basically it's the USA who chooses who they let have them.
Or if your a special friend i.e. Israel they will supply them.

Answer 8

anyone with enough balls to make them!

Answer 9

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. they are not 'chosen' they choose to.
