   @evan You're not going to keep a nuclear program secret, so what you do is develop capacities under guise of civilian use while building parallel facilities very deep underground and allow no inspections. You keep a degree of non-declarition and ambiguity of what you are doing and what milestones you've hit. You don't try and use it as political leverage.

     @evan You wait to announce your status as a nuclear power once you've got an assortment of delivery options and enough bombs to ensure serious retribution if one of the great powers tries for a forcible end to your program, regime change, etc.

     @evan As a small nation, you probably can't reach MAD status, but you can make any action against you come at too high a cost. Think NK with their ~50 nukes. That is your target as a nation that doesn't want to get pushed around in this era in which the big powers are trying for imperial conquest once again.
