Except nukes. Only allies can have nukes.

I guess it you want a nuclear apocalypse then giving the tech to people that would rather see the world end than be "ruled by the apostates", that sounds like a great plan.

Is that really the case? Nukes are supposed to be deterrents. If only groups aligned with each other have nukes that sounds more dangerous than enemies having nukes and knowing they can't use them.

Whose allies? Everyone has "an ally," so technically everyone can have them? It doesn't matter though, the world doesn't work like that, thankfully. Those with enough power to have them, will have them.

Russia has nukes, China has nukes, Pakistan has nukes....

And yet, no countries with nukes have ever gone to war with each other.

India and Pakistan fight skirmishes along their contested border all the time. (And re your first line, Pakistan is a US ally, at least in theory.)

1. In 2024, India is a closer ally than Pakistan. (Major Defense Partner)

2. Yep. Skirmishes, not wars.
