Nothing has to push them. These countries want to go nuclear. The only thing preventing them is the threat of american intervention. Japan and South Korea had secret nuclear programs that we put a stop to. Canada, Brazil and Mexico will never be allowed to own nukes. No nation in the western hemisphere will allowed to own nukes outside the US. As for germany and the netherlands, we'd sanction and isolate them if they ever developed nukes. They could have nukes, but their economy would be in shambles like north korea. If taiwan went nuclear then it would be the end of taiwan and both the US and china would take them out.

The french Force de frappe would like to have a word with you...

Also UK, even if they've outsourced production and maintenance of them to the US, or something like that.

I'm also liking the idea of the mexican cartels having their own nukes.

That makes sense, so I guess once Ukraine loses, it'll make more sense for them to push the button and get ready. Better to be hungry and free than ending up in Siberia.
