@FEAR, for their stupid proposal: I'll let you see my finger.
One thing I would like to point out at this point is nobody is quite sure how powerful the nukes are. oh sure, they got a vauge idea from the math, but outside perhaps a few test detonations, there has been no significant exposure to them. there is none of the stigma that exists in this world attached to them. yet. the people are not going to rise up and protest a weapon that can quickly end the war. they won't protest something that can destroy their foes. there not even going to consider them world enders, outside a few circles of scientists.
now after they are used, there is a chance of revolts and protest's happening. but until somebody dose use them against a civilian target, they are simply yet another weapon, abet a powerful one, to the general population. nothing less, nothing more.
From what I gather from this, every nation in the EC has plans for nuclear weapons, but only Morocco can actually build them. After all, building nukes isn't like outfitting a division. Even if you have plans, there's more that you need. Launch sites, equiptment to build them, scientists, and other things, which at this point, only Morocco has. I'm assuming that if the other EC nations wished to build their own nukes, they'd have to spend at least an ASP in order to have the facilities to construct them, before they could spend another aSP to buy 10 nukes. Correct my if I'm wrong.
With modern planes it would be very hard to build a facility and maufacture more nukes, without it being spotted, and destroyed before they are completed..
How would the people know? It's not exactly something the government announces in public.
DFI-NADTA might not know much about nukes, but they did learn from the R&D site records roughly how expensive it was to build one.
