Guess who has nukes first during ww2? America, and they destroy the world during that period and after that till now.
Jokes aside, nukes are not the detriment of how nice or great to live in a country and the human condition it will bring. Iceland doesn’t have nukes ,yet it is a great state with awesome livelihood and people. If technology is the only thing that matter to live for and be counted as for a life worth striving on , then we have already lost the fight. Evidence? Japan. I would have sacrificed all this garbage technology and everything to live with a family that needs me, homogenous society in old European town or asian one.
Also india has much higher population than Malaysia, it’s quite impressive for us to come this far with such low population of people and lack of wealth post ww2.
