Response to Hypocritical or Not?

When reading BD’s Hypocritical or Not? I could not help but disagree with his final statements about the United States and its possession of nuclear weapons. Yes, this may at first glance resemble what is known as hypocrisy, we can hold weapons but we deny other country’s the right too. However, the United States has a stable government, we have two main political parties who have nothing against each other except for clashing political views. We are not a nation like North Korea who broadcast our possession and development of such weapons. We are a nation responsible enough to have possession of these advanced weapons; we are not like the Russia who is constantly having their nuclear missiles stolen. Guess where they end up? The Middle East. It is not just that fact that these nations may use these weapons against our country, but also themselves. Yemen has a guerilla militia, which has more members then the Yemen Nation Army itself. What would happen if a nation so violently unstable got control of the nuclear weapons its country was developing? Who knows what the consequences to this would be. BD the United States is a responsible country that understands the dangers and the circumstances of using a nuclear weapon. The issue is not completely about the government creating these weapons, it is the fact that these parts of the world developing weapons are so unstable that it is impossible to tell who could get hold of the nuclear devices. We are not hypocrites; we understand what could happen if the guerilla militia’s of the Middle East and other countries get hold of such destructive weapons.
