Seems to run counter to [enacted law](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_on_the_Non-Proliferation_of_Nuclear_Weapons). Also, how much you want to bet there will be chicinery with [the upcoming government shutdown](https://thehill.com/homenews/house/5982425-house-passes-stopgap-measure-to-fund-federal-government/) will provide cloak and cover for this.
Crazy thought: this is all blackmail because Saudi Arabia got a copy of the Epstein files.
