This is only tangentially related to the article, but...
I'm all for preventing nuclear proliferation, but how long do we realistically think we can maintain a world order where only a few states have nuclear weapons? This technology has been around for nearly 75 years. It's still a dangerous frontier, but far from a new one.

The current "world order" is certainly not an ideal to uphold, or even moving in the right direction with regards for nuclear proliferation.
