That is not a question I asked.

What matters is which countries could be more trusted to have nukes; you added the "and not to use them" part all by yourself.

but isn't that the point. I mean country A has nukes and is trusted to have nukes because it is a peaceful country.
country B cannot be trusted to have nukes because it is felt B will use them and cause destruction.

that's really the only criterion; it seems like you're arguing that iran can't be trusted because iran will use nukes.
All I'm saying is that to get away from opinion and look at historical facts and also some current event stuff(tactical nuke iran by US), the US is far and away the least trustworthy country today.


I mean, if trusting a country to have nukes doesn't mean having nukes but not using them, what else could it possibly mean? (using them in self defense *after* being attacked could still qualify as trusted not to use them I guess.)
