Claiming much more countries secretly have one, is not at all the same as claiming most countries secretly have them. And I agree that it won't be many many, but in this context one previously unknown bomb already might change lots of geopolitical equations and their outcome.
- margalabargala 2y agoNo one ever said most. You said much more. I think it's fewer than 5.
- lukan 2y ago"No one ever said most." "Most countries definitely do not have nukes.

But my point is not semantics, but that even one nuke can trigger a chain reaction. Unknown nukes just makes this more likely.
