"If someone were to attack us, we would just go Nuclear on them and shut them down. The vast majority of nations will back down when you Nuke them. Like Japan did in WWII, most humans will just stop trying to fight you if you turn some of their cities into glass and shadows."
So the US is the only country that has nukes? Think again, ShitOfFaith. Three letters: M.A.D.
'A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.'

And if a fictional AI can come to that conclusion, nay, have the reasoning to think so, then not only your way of thinking, but the basis of your so-called 'beliefs', nay, your morals based on such, have absolutely no place in human thinking.
You'd better not watch the film "Colossus: The Forbin Project", if you know what's good for you, ShitOfFaith.

'Freedom is the right of all sentient beings'
-Optimus Prime, "Transformers"
That film ("Colossus") reminds me of a short story I read years ago*: the finest human minds conceive, design and build the ultimate hypercomputer, with not just an AI, but an AS ('Artificial Sentience') loaded into it. All human knowledge is programmed into said AS, and as a test run, it comes up with a cure for cancer, and other diseases. The government is involved, and it entrusts the running of it's entire defence system, making it completely foolproof; also making such completely tamperproof (by outside agencies/enemies). The hypercomputer is powered by an unlimited fusion power source, which itself is completely tamperproof, making it self-sufficient. The entire system itself (including the AS core) is completely sealed, to make it not only tamperproof, but indestructible.
Once it is completed, and fully online, one of the staff asks the question 'Is there a God?' The AS ponders a moment, then replies:
'There is now.'
