That's generally the view I have on the whole situation. They knew what was coming, they just let it happen. Did they orchestrate the whole thing? I highly doubt that. But it doesn't take to many people in the intelligence arena to decide upon ignoring their intel. Doesn't need to be a gigantic cover up, when a few people at the top can keep things from moving forward in the early stage of the game.
The thing that makes me chuckle is that a country estimated to have upwards of 10,000 active and inactive nuclear weapons in their stockpile has any grounds to complain about anyone else dabbling in nuclear tech. The country with the most WMDs, and the only one to have technically used one, are the one's bitching and complaining about others having them the most. Makes perfect sense...
