    Probability of nuclear war rises with number of states having nukes. It’s best to keep that number as low as possible, so I would not think it wise for Greenland to have nukes. It would not be a sin for Iran to have them, though, given Iran’s allies aren’t exactly offering a nuclear umbrella.

      That is the conventional wisdom. Wisdom written by people with nukes who can’t stop bullying everyone else.

        the conventional wisdom checks out to me. Sometimes bullies happen to be right.
