It’s blatantly naive. The reason we have these restrictions is because it’s simply more efficient not to have an arms race.

If it was really about small countries we would already gotten rid of nuclear weapons.

Don’t forget that the amount of countries having the capability to detect the launches of nukes is even less than the amount of countries having nukes.
