For one, they’re not a part of any treaty that prohibits the building of nuclear weapons.
A treaty of such magnitude exists, called the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. Basically, the treaty says that nations can gain the technology and training for the use of nuclear technology from those that use nuclear technologies in exchange for using them for peaceful purposes. In other words, anyone that is a part of this treaty is allowed to build nuclear power plants to supply power for their country, not to build nukes.
Last time I checked, Israel is one of four countries that is not a part of this treaty. So, even if Israel did have nuclear weapons (technically, as I’ll explain later, no one can say for sure, but for all practical purposes, it does), it’s not as though they violated any rules, technically.
Honestly the graph doesn't show anything about technology. the only thing i could think of was something close to technology is factories. the north will have more impact on technology than the south that's only cause north makes more money than the south does to have technology. i hope this helps
War Games was just playing on AMC this past weekend. I believe that the sentiment expressed by this film, that there are no winners in a full scale nuclear war, is grounded in fact and not emotions. We already have the example of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to tell us about the devastation possible and the bombs developed later were many times more powerful. Mutual assured destruction was what kept the US and Soviet Union from attacking each other. People had a right to be afraid. We learned that in 1983 the world had a near-miss with nuclear war, when a Russian soldier ignored a false alarm (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanislav_Petrov) and did not give orders or launch a counter-strike on the USA. We may never know how many times we were on the brink of global destruction.
I would say whatever region was found to have the most gold would have become more profitable.
I believe it was governor John M. Slanton who sentenced Leo Frank to death.
