Not sure if you're just joking around, but nuclear weapons and material from Pakistan and Iran are likely to end up in the hands of terrorists sooner or later, either intentionally or unintentionally. The same is not the case for nuclear weapons controlled by France, US, UK, Germany, and Israel. So there is a huge difference.

Why would "nuclear weapons and material" from Pakistan and Iran "likely" end up in the hands of terrorists? What's so special about the other countries for which this is not the case?
The USA has 5 tonnes of weapons grade nuclear material missing or unaccounted for. Enough to produce at least 1000 nukes, apparently. http://npolicy.org/books/2014muf/Nuclear%20Weapons%20Materia...
Germany doesn't have nuclear weapons.
Germany possesses twenty B61 nuclear weapons in hardened shelters, ready for immediate loading onto Tornados.
