I wonder if they feel the same way about other crazed / apocalyptic America-hating regimes developing nuke arsenals?

Why wouldn't they?

MAD is only necessary in a conflict of superpowers. Having a long war with another superpower is something to be avoided. Pissant tyrants that would have no chance against us in a war need have their nuclear weapon facilities blown to pieces if they become a national security threat.

Absolutely. Unfortunately the Norks were allowed to progress to that point. Hopefully we won’t make the same mistake with Iran.
