Wider nukes invite grim miscalculation and escalation. Deterrence becomes fragile as stakes rise.
More powers invite hubris and miscalculation. Deterrence grows fragile, and catastrophe rises with wider nuclear spread.
More nukes raise the odds of miscalculation and accident; a single spark could end civilization.
