It always seems crazy to me that more countries don’t already have nukes considering how long they have been around.

I’m obviously glad for it, but it’s surprising they aren’t everywhere and some yahoo hasn’t already destroyed the world.

I saw a newspaper headline from the 1980's saying Iran was a few week's away from nukes...

Talk about a project delay!

Either Tulsi had bad intel or mossad did but one of the two allies was wrong.

I tend to believe Tulsi and think that Israel is settling all scores before Bibi loses power using the 12/7 attacks as justification.

The "long peace" is a load of bullshite. All that happened was that war changed from superpower v superpower to proxy sponsored war

No, it is not.

Nuclear deterrence works. I bet Ukraine wishes they hadnt given up nukes at our request.

This was in 2012.

Netanyahu said Iran was less than a year away from a nuclear weapon at this UN meeting.

Bibi is a political animal.
He will do whatever it takes to stay in power.

How close? I'm surprised Iran doesn't have a few nukes now.

I am thankful Ukraine does not have nukes. Coked up Z might have used them when Russia sent the little green men into Crimea

India and Pakistan still go at it, most recently a few weeks ago. With nukes all it takes is one mishap to cause the end days. The USSR had that software glitch that showed we were bombing them when we werent, thats how close the world came to ending. More countries with nukes just increases the odds of that shite happening

They arent.

They wouldnt be having the current crisis if they had kept them.

Which is why no one has used Nukes, and most likely will not.

They are a great deterrent.
