China, UK & France are in. Japan & Germany are out, because they were occupied and demilitarised at the time. Both large, rich countries. China was large, but poor at that time.
- dsfyu404ed 8y agoI agree that rich and poor is probably too broad of a brush but there's definitely an in group and out group with which rich/poor generally, but not perfectly aligns. I'm talking more about the current political landscape anyway. Everyone turns a blind eye to Israel (they're in the in group) but if any middle eastern, African or South American nation were to seriously pursue nuclear weapons the hand wringing would be immense (and is, in the case of Iran).
