The common answer is nuclear proliferation. Power is one thing but it’s just a hop away from weapons.
The international community has a vested interest in some of the more… reactionary… countries not having weapons of mass destruction.
That said, the reality isn’t so simple and often these arguments make for good excuses to justify acting on other interests.
