India has two ballistic missile subs, North Korea has one. The Iranians and Saudis both are within an ace of producing bombs, Pakistan has about 30. Israel about 200.
That non proliferation thing isn't going too well.
I'd say that's a damn good track record for technology that's been around for almost 80 years.
If the 60s had turned into "everyone develops or buys a nuke", we'd be living in a very different world today (if at all).
