I tend to agree that if 1 nation has them, they all should have the same right. Small & Weak nations that can't afford a big military particularly need them. It would stop big nations from attacking with conventional weapons & "bombing them back to the stone age". Or at least think twice before doing so.
The main problem is that if lots of small countries with unstable goobermints have them, what happens when the country gets into a civil war? Also, the increased potential for non-state actors to have a nuke. Say here in the FSoA if the Proud Boys or Ku Klux Klan got a nuke?
Frankly, the technology isn't very complex, it's mainly an engineering issue for Uranium enrichment. I'm sure the North Koreans could ramp up their production and sell tactical nukes on the retail arms market. Good source of revenue.
