Right, we wouldn't want to piss China off. They have nukes, that could get ugly.

To recap for those batshit-insane dictators just joining the world stage, here's our post cold-war policy: don't build nukes, nukes are bad. If you try to build nukes, we will be very angry and there will be consequences. Until you actually build them, at which time you will be allowed to do whatever the hell you please. But don't, because we say so, and we have nukes, and we're not afraid to use them. But we won't. They're for your protection. And by your protection I mean our protection. From you. Because you don't have nukes, so our nukes will deter you. And that's good. For us. Got it? Good.
