Beyond that, the inevitable integration of this actor into the mutually assured destruction (MAD) dynamic of nuclear weapons just seems completely destabilizing.
Oversight and regulation? Yep, that works — look at how pure and wholesome our vaccines are, even our drinking water in our sparkling clean cities. And other countries like China and North Korea will be sure to follow our lead, right?
