    That’s a non sequitur. “We can’t trust the US” doesn’t mean “we need nukes” and it doesn’t mean “we need spooks” either.

      You might disagree with the argument, but it’s not completely random. From the US, we gained most of the benefits of having nukes and spooks, without having to maintain them ourselves. Since we can’t trust them, we now have to decide if it’s worth developing our own.
