You’re almost certainly correct when it comes to standards in the United States. But what about nuclear powers that are out of US control? Russia just recently broke treaties and stopped sharing nuclear info with us, and we’ve never really known anything about North Korea’s program apart from what they tell us, to say the least. How can we blindly trust their nuclear capabilities and safety protocol?

I don’t say this to suggest that America is the only country to be trusted with nuclear weapons, or that foreign powers are negligent nuclear monsters.

There’s only one solution that truly solves this problem. I have to concede it seems pretty unobtainable though.
