Chernobyl power plant captured by Russian forces

Those two don't have the resources to project significantly (like superpowers), nor the pressure of border conflict (like the others I mentioned). So their nuclear capabilities are somewhat irrelevant.

Not sure why you think North Korea and Pakistan can project and not France and UK which both have nuclear attack submarines. The heart of nuclear detterrence lies in those submarines that can cause second strike MAD.

Unless you think NK is a superpower, you've failed to actually read a one-paragraph post, congratulations.

As for projection capabilities of FR-UK, they are small and old and creaky and everybody knows it.

Sorry but being insulting is not going to make your argument more convincing. Pretending that somehow NK and Pakistan have more nuclear capabilities that FR or UK is a joke.
