I actually believe that any non-aligned nation needs a tactical nuclear program. Like, 1 Kiloton or half Kiloton warheads if they choose to be unaligned, but are surrounded by stronger powers.
Like, if Denmark and Switzerland want to remain neutral, but they are surrounded by France, Britain, and Germany who want to invade and take power, then Denmark and Switzerland need nukes to stop any real invasion by land, sea, or air. Yes, the bigger countries could use nukes, but why? At the end of it you get a million dead and irradiated neighbor that genuinely didn't want to be involved. It's kind of pointless if your point was to take the country with only a thousand dead.
For a smaller country, it would really be the only way to defeat a massive air-attack, naval task force, or armored rush.
I mean, history, including very recent history, clearly shows that.
As a nation, you have two choices; be subservient to a stronger foreign nation, or have the most powerful weapons available. Independent countries need nukes.
