“Were Canada, Germany, and Japan to acquire nuclear weapons, they would rebalance global military capabilities in favor of a coalition of states committed to the rules-based system,” argue Moritz Graefrath and Mark Raymond.
America’s Allies Should Go Nuclear
Selective proliferation will strengthen the global order, not end it.

My colleague @moritz-graefrath.com and I argue in @foreignaffairs.com for selective nuclear proliferation to Canada, Germany and Japan.

For over a year, Canada has worked intensively and in good faith with the United States to negotiate a new comprehensive trade deal. We have been pragmatic, patient, and persistent. Our goal has always been to get the best deal for Canadians, never a deal at any price or on any time frame.

Urging Canadians not to "buy Canadian" so much as "buy not-US." We benefit from being integrated in a global trading order, and if the US is withdrawing from that, we have reason to strengthen trade with the rest of the world.
