"SpaceX will make its own laws on Mars" & not recognize international laws. Proof that the kind of excess wealth that leads to power & influence leads also to unrestrainable, blinding hubris & arrogance, & thence to evil. This must be stopped now. bit.ly/34GbT70

Without nukes, Mars wouldn't have much to bargain with. So maybe they need a nuclear program for defense against Terran treachery

besides I think mars can play at that nuke game without having nukes, first of all they have orbital superiority (and favorable orbital mechanics), second their mere existence is a threat to the system of MAD
