Oh but that just effects their own citizens what about the rest of the world?

They are ranked 12th in number of active troops in the armed forces while being 40th in size.

Also they acceded (agreed to follow but did not sign) to the Nonproliferation Treaty. This report indicated they have violated that.

Those both are indications of a potential threat.

BTW most "western" countries don't have nuclear weapons. Only the US, UK and France do.

None of that still says that they'd actually use the nukes. Like I said, having one gives one quite a bit of protection.

Let's put it upside down. If Myanmar would be the first one to have a nuke, others would soon follow with their nukes, just to protect themselves and have something to strike back with if necessarely.

I must ask again, what country with nukes have to say at country X if they want to have a nuke too?

As for the potential threat, didn't US attack Iraq under false reasons, that could be taken as a sign of threat too, right?
