Nukes being a risk was suggested as a reason why the US was willing to invade Iraq for trying to get one but not North Korea for succeeding.

It's almost certainly more complex of course, but the UK called it's arsenal a "deterrent" before I left, and I've heard the same for why China stopped in the hundreds of warheads.

Even if that were true for Iraq, which I doubt, it would have been the odd one out.

Btw., China is increasing its arsenal at the moment.
