"India,Israel & Japan were 3 countries which could build a functioning nuclear triad including submarine launched missiles & even ICBMs"
You are imperialistic, aren't you ? :-)
You could say so!!!!
Anyway all 3 nations are surrounded by a bunch of brutes on all sides-so the question how many nukes they need ,not why they need nukes.
Nukes are nice toys. We wanted to build nukes in 70's, but Soviets didn't let us to do it. Now, when we are a part of EUnuchstan it's not possible either.
