> If the US had developed a nuclear armament and no other country had would that truly have been worse?

Yes, do you think it is a coincidence that nuclear weapons stopped being used in wars as soon as more than one power had them? People would clamor for nukes to be used to save their young soldiers lives if they didn't have to fear nuclear retaliation, you would see strong political pushes for nuclear usage in everyone of USA's wars.



Hmm, indeed
