We're not talking now. We are talking about TL9, and a supposed reason why a country would see a reason to use these drives. Maybe they discovered Handwavium-234 on Luna (or Mars)....maybe they found a 1x3x9 black monolith floating around Jupiter.
Russia and China already pretty much ignore "international ire", such as it is, and Japan and India will do whatever benefits Japan and India, and play patty-cake with the neo-luddite morons later, just as they do now.
