Because then we'll have 6 year olds battling each for early army training.

Which, in my opinion, is better than me battling other people for training. I'd prefer someone else have to deal with it.

"Oh, but Q, if you don't deal with it now you'll end up with a nuke up your ass!" I really could care less. The likelihood that anyone would launch a nuke at us is rather slim. So Russia has 35 pointed at us right now, how many do we have pointed at them? And if we know how many they have, it'd only be fair they know how many we have. In fact, it'd be advantageous to us for them to know that.

Assured Mutual Destruction. Yet another form of communicating.
