Kudos to Argentina and Brazil for this example of peaceful use of nuclear resources, while other countries see it valid to use as a weapon to intimidate--or obliterate--others.

This treaty at the very least should be amended, if not scrapped. The world has changed.

You will shortly have absolutely lunatics running the nations of Europe and North America, as they sink into failed-states driven by xenophobia, supremacism, intolerance, and blind nationalism. Every one of them you can see that is where they are heading.

Asian countries are already fairly jingoistic and now you see South east Asian nations duking it out in the SC sea, and then Korea, Japan, China all saber-rattling in the East sea.

India, Pakistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, etc... ditto, all falling to theocratic extremism.

It is time Brazil and Argentina realize they will become the lone beacons of peace, and the others will become evil cesspools of hate. Thus a sophisticated missile shield should be developed ASAP by Brazil, Argentina, and any other South american nation that wishes to get involved. If not, the evil EUians, NorthAmoans, Assasians, et al will come and destroy us without any chance of at least fighting back.

If you abandon your imperialist objectives, you won't need any shield. Fortunately the UK has a good defence shield on the Falklands to prevent your imperialist objectives.
