Rather amusing that a country who withdraw from the non proliferation treaty is under so much scrutiny in regards to its nuclear ambitions. United States has as recently as 2016 tested a nuclear weaponry. Also according to some reports the USA and Russia are both actually increasing their stockpiles rather then moving towards disarmament.
