OK, so your worldview is no principles, no civility, just social Darwinism as you support the notion that a country pursuing nuclear weapons for the stated goal of eliminating another nation from the face of the planet is rational.What makes that action irrational? Was there a severe penalty associated with that act? States do what they can get away with, and avoid things that they can’t. That makes them rational. When they simply don’t care, and are willing to accept the penalties which ultimately may threaten the existence of a particular govt or regime, then the action is irrational.
