Answer 1

The only reason the US would want to nuke you is because you've done something so egregious in the international community, and nuking is the best way to keep hostilities at the lowest level acceptable to the American government.

No law says you have to sign these weapons bans; however once you signed it, you've opened yourself up to all sorts of inspections. For example, the US is always getting inspected to verify that we are destroying our stockpile of chemical weapons.

Syria hasn't signed the chemical weapons ban. Just a few weeks ago, appearantly they had an accident while experimenting one of their SCUD missiles loaded with Blistering agent. Not a lot of outrage since Syria neve signed the ban. Would have been big outrage if it were Brazil (or any other country...) has has signed the chemical weapons ban.

Ideally, the US government prefers to negotiate non-proliferation (looks at how much were are giving North Korea to not build the bomb). The less countries who possess the bomb, the less probability they'll get used.

Answer 2

The treaty is voluntary. A country might choose not to participate because it obligates them to actions or requirements that they disagree with or because they do not feel it is in their best interests.

Of course a country that feels under threat will seek allies and support, and other countries may use various means to achieve their objectives, and so on and so on...

On one hand, treaties such as this are intended to bind nations in a compact of mutual benefit in a structure of civilized cooperation. On the other hand, treaties such as this can also be perceived as loading the dice for certain players and placing others at a disadvantage. It all depends on your perspective.

Answer 3

Too simplistic.
Why would the United States want to nuke you?
The US has fought three very prolonged and bloody wars after utilizing nuclear weapons during WWII - and at no time has a nuclear strike been seriously considered.
Perhaps the joining of countries whose policies would lead to you asking this question might just turn out to be a pre-requisite for war.

Answer 4

Non-proliferation was a foolish treaty and is only upheld by the people who would have done it anyway. As a country fearing attack by the US, the best thing to do is get other people the US is dependent on to negotiate for you. Simply obtaining nukes for yourself would not stop the attack and you probably wouldn't be able to get enough of them to have any marked effect on the US.

Answer 5

As an independent nation you would be able to act anyway you thought would be in your best interests, just as long as you would be willing to suffer the consequences
