What will a rich man with an atom bomb

The thing is that a rich man will have everything, namely an atom bomb, an atomic reactor, and a Swiss Bank Account.
Strangely, there is no mention of China in this article.

Nuclear weapons help India to be recognized as a strong nation. Remember what Dr.Kalam said strength only respects strength. Weapons prevent India from being colonized and that made India a poor country. The reason for today's poverty is colonization of India. Nuclear weapons help India to be recognized in International negotiations like trade talks and farm subsidies. It helps India to get recognition as a technological power which will generate job opportunities for many.

Colonization is not responsible for India's poverty. It is the plunder and loot by the successive govts, bureaucrats and babus that has made India poorer. Atom Bomb doesn't make a country stronger. It is the condition of its inhabitants, the GDP, the economy and the social status that make the country stronger or weaker. Malasia doesn't have an Atom bomb but just look at the strides of progress they have made in less than 50 years.
