That's a ridiculous argument. By that benchmark any country has a responsibility to stop any other country's nuclear program because it is a potential threat to the world.

I feel like you wanted to reductio ad absurdum with a conclusion I feel is not absurd... um. It is staggeringly dangerous for anyone to have the tools to end civilization, because sometimes we lose track of things, and unless you're a comic book villain, destroying all human life within a multi-mile radius is not a super useful tool in wartime or peacetime.
Sure, but then why not target countries like Pakistan or Israel, and then eventually remove the use of nukes by all countries across the globe?
