You know you didn't have to go post that, right?
But it's fine, I guess...

You just keep being you!

You know, their plan to hang out at Shadow Moses Island and take on the world is pretty terrible. The advantage of a walking nuclear tank that can launch from anywhere is kind of defeated when you decide to stay in one small location. Then other countries can just nuke you right back.

I think it's more that the US isn't meant to have the Metal Gear, and revealing that would severely harm it's reputation. The Metal Gear, the nuke, the genome soldiers - everything on the island is a big list of things it has told the UN it doesn't have.

"Give us Big Boss' body, and ONE MEEL-LON DOLLARS *Dr. Evil finger pose* or we tell on you!"

It may make more sense in-universe, where there are less nukes in 2005 than in real-life's 2005.
