You're right, nowhere in here does it specifically prohibit anyone from creating low yield nuclear devices. On the other hand i fail to see how developing new nuclear bombs is going to conform to the intent of the NPT, which, as the title states, is nonproliferation.
Who else is going to want their low yield nukes if the u.s. ends up developing and deploying them against that might be an nns? Surely our european allies will end up with some of our hot, low yield action. Israel is fo sho get some of that sweet shit. Sounds like them nukes is gon' be repliferatin all over the place.
It seems like priorities are misplaced when the u.s. gets it panties in a bunch because a rogue state might have nukes, yet in the same breath is attempting to develop newer, more effective wmds for rogue nations to eventually get their hands on.
