    Not publicizing a fool proof nuclear counter-measure defeats the purpose of achieving it in the first place.

    yeah but if they don’t tell anyone they can keep it secret and other countries wouldn’t try to make their own

      Spies are still a thing. Security by obfuscation only works when nobody is looking specifically at you.
