moral authority is only a talking point; a feint veil over the actual truth. Which is that the nuclear powers do not want more nuclear powers, lest those that aren't allies strong arm using nuclear blackmail (against, let's say, the USA's interests).
And tbh, i think ignoring moral authority, or "justice" or "peace", and talking about the truth, makes more sense.
If everyone has nukes, the probability of a nuclear exchange goes towards 1. The probability of nukes landing on your city goes towards 1. We survived the last seventy-five years due to a relentless geopolitical exercise in limiting the proliferation of these weapons, often at great (moral and concrete cost.) We won’t survive an environment where every single tin-pot dictator has thermonuclear weapons mounted on ICBMs.
