And then, I dont get what right a country with nukes is to say that country X cant have them, that's hypocrisy isnt it?
Just dont get it.

This is a fantastic question, but I believe it has a simple answer: hypocrisy or not, its in everyone's best interest to keep the list of nuclear-armed nations as small as possible.
Just think: get a room of ten people together and issue them all loaded guns. Will anyone shoot anyone purposefully/accidently? Probably not. Now make it 100 people. Anyone shooting now? Well, ... PROBABLY not but more likely. Now make it 1000 people. Will someone shoot now?
Now imagine that regarding nuclear arms, except with the consequences increased by several orders of magnitude. A human holocaust has been resting on a hairpin trigger for years now ... do we really want to issue more triggers?
