Other first world governments also higher for senior government positions based on political factors. In any case the "they" in my sentence wasn't other first world governments, but rather Russia and Pakistan.

The context for my statement -

""Unless they buy one from a Russian or a Paki."

And that isn't likely. Too risky. In the Russians case, how do they know that it won't wind up in Chechen hands? And that doesn't even factor in the risk that it would get traced back to them. Neither is in a position to deal with being a target by the rest of the industrialized world."
