Disclaimer: this is not an endorsement but a statement of fact. There is no should or shouldn't. This is power, and those with power make, change, and break the rules as they wish. Just consider that the US flagrantly violated the Iran deal, and nothing punitive happened. Sure, there's an NPT on paper, and yes we have a far smaller stock pile of 4k nukes... but how can the US get away running nuclear tests in 1992, 30 years after an NPT which "obligates the nuclear weapons states to liquidate their nuclear stockpiles and pursue complete disarmament." How did the US pull off nuke research in 2003 or actually building new bombs in 2007? Why did no one else start pounding their chests demanding sanctions or IAEA inspectors? Simple: The "rules" don't apply to the US or most major powers.
