And the USSR was very shortly behind the US in terms of development. And US stockpiling didn't begin until the Soviets detonated their own bomb.
So you are saying since the US has the best technology, other countries should give up and not even try to develop their own technologies to match the US. That is nonsense, anyone should be allowed to race with anyone they want for technology. If we didn't have competition, we wouldn't have innovation, and our world would be back in the stone age.
