They must not have worn suits or thanked him enough but the dealbreaker was that the selection of couches was abysmal.

    I still don’t see any public discussion on why Israel should be allowed to have nukes, and not Iran. That is the core idea of deterrence.

    Israel has so much kompromat on western politicians, that they are basically held by their balls.

    Also, the US Involvement in the war is almost certainly fueled by all the shit Israel has on Turd. The Epstein files, considering Epstein was a Mossad agent, must de devastating.

      I understand not wanting dictatorships to have nukes. Look at North Korea for example. So far we’re good, but eventually someone that is absolutely insane could be appointed and then South Korea no longer exists. The history of the Roman Empire shows us what can go wrong,.now imagine it with nukes.

      Of course the US’s democracy is off the rails too so who knows. I guess ideally the leader can change every 4 years at least. Just gotta keep them away from the nukes.

      Now all that being said any country not building nukes is setting themselves up for failure. Nukes mean you have sovereignty in the modern era.

          North Korea A) isn’t a dictatorship

          Lmao

          Anyway see my last paragraph for point B, a point I already made. Every nation that wants sovereignty should be building nukes because that’s the world order that’s been established.

          And finally I’m not a liberal nor a tankie obviously. I know it’s hard to comprehend a 3rd option (it’s not conservative either btw).

      Well the thing is that Isreal already has them. You can only stop a country from having nukes before they get them. The reality is no one should have nukes, but there’s no real way to have everyone disable them at the same time and have any confidence they couldn’t just make them again. Every one who has nukes promises to never use them unless someone else nukes them first, but we all know that if it’s a choice between being conquered and using nukes to stop it, promises are worth nothing.
