If nothing else, for all that they are also a threat to humanity, I'm grateful for nuclear weapons (and if need be, even the prospect of biowarfare on the table) as a result.
The rest of humanity is now increasingly building the foundations so that they can move past the barbarism the west inflicted on them, and if the west cannot choose even the most basic humanity- if our societies cannot abandon hegemony, genocide, and exploitation, and overthrow their monstrous systems themselves- if need be, they will be wiped off the map this time around, when they try to inflict the same on others.
