    After what happened to Ukraine and Iran, it’s pretty clear that if you don’t have nukes, you’re just gonna get attacked.

      Iraq and Libya too. North Korea or Pakistan on the other hand are chilling.

      As every single country should. It’s clear at this point that if you don’t have nukes, your security is nonexistent.

        That’s insanity! It’s literally building a pile of TNT to sit upon and than handing everyone a match “for safety”!

              So country from which imperialist aggression the world wants to protect from the most is the only country that even used it? Sounds like we are good if everyone else gets them.

            I’m not worrying about countries using them. I’m more worried about them getting stolen.

                If everyone has them, it’s not worth stealing.

                Not everyone will have them. I doubt there will be 8 billion nukes so that everyone will always get their way.

                Imagine if some death cult demanded everyone wear yellow hats or they would nuke somewhere, and trigger all the retaliation policies worldwide.

                So copper is not worth stealing? A bike is not worth stealing? Guns in the US are not worth stealing?

      There are not so many options available to protect your country in the case of unwarranted aggression. Not that I am a fan of Iran’s government, but if they had a stockpile of nukes and capable missiles available to flatten Israel, they wouldn’t get fucking bombed by fascists to try to take away attention from their domestic issues today
