But my dear mattey there are severel reasons for a nation to develop nuclear weapons.When a nation decides to make nuclear weapons then it has to decide that whether it should go the strenthen its economy or take off the pressure which would increase in the next comming years then a country just jump to get the nuclear weapon on every price, you can take an exaple of Pakistan,Pakistan did its best to take the nuclear weapons at any price,Pkaistan did this to peel off the pressure from tis neighbour and in this way there is stability in this region and there would happen some minor conflicts but both countries know they can use even a short range ballestic missile ( you purely know the reason why ).
Now you should see the Isreal it is spending 50% of its GDP ( correct me if i am wrong ) because Isreal thinks that it is in danger and it would do any thing to make its defence stronger and stronger.You can take north Korea in the same example.
Aaaditya i differ from your this example that a country must see its economic conditions before getting the nukes,man a country having healthier economy and not having any enemy why should it try to get the nukes and there are a dozen of treaties now for the non poliferation of nukes Lol

my dear kashif even if pakistan develops nuclear weapons ,they will still have to spend huge amounts of money to maintain and safeguard them,waste disposal etc,the nuclear material used for the weapons have a certain half life period after which they have to be disposed off.
and if pakistan uses them in war it will assure destruction of their enemies as well as their own totald estruction, a strong economy also enable to absorb the shock of a nuclear atatck.
take for example japan,the first two nuclear bombs were dropped on hiroshima and nagasaki,millions of people died but within 10 years japan had again become economically very strong and within another 10 years they became the number one economy in asia.
japan has more reasons for having nuclear weapons than pakistan,pakistan has only india as its rival ,but japan has two hostile and nuclear neighbours in china and north korea ,but japan has concentrated on its economy rather than the development of nuclear,they know very well.
that any country which uses nuclear bomb first will become an international untouchable.
the entire world's sympathy and support will be with the effected country,this the main reason why i believe that neither india nor pakistan will dare to use their nuclear weapons first as it will politically and economically isolate them .
the only value of the nuclear weapons is mutually assured destruction.
