Seems as the current nuclear powers have been pretty reserved in their uses of them, outside threats from N. Korea.

Not a contradiction at all. If another country has nukes and their software glitches and/or is hacked by terrorists, whose to say they dont pull the trigger? Creating more points of failure is foolish

Absolutely. You simply support the status quo of the US being the worlds bully to maintain total power.
Its expensive and deadly, and creates enemies. Its America last and globalist.

Could a Cartel purchase a ‘Suitcase’ nuke or Dirty Bomb? This whole thing is about Jihadist Islam holding respect and perceived power in the ME and being regarded on the world stage as legitimate powerbrokers. The Mullahs want the right to enrich uranium just like other sovereign Nations, if they choose. They can have all the ingredients for nuclear weapons at hand without assembly and then claim to not be building nukes. That is like Biden saying that the Border was secure and the Jews won’t fall for that mind game crap. Of course their sworn religious duty to destroy or subjugate the Jews coupled with the martyrdom principle really pushes Israel to act preemptively. Which they are and will continue doing very efficiently.

Did the ukrainian government ever actually own those nukes though? They were left on their land by the soviets but I doubt the ukrainians had the ability to use and maintain them. They definitely wouldn't have had the money to keep them maintained for 30+ years.

Trump gave them 60 days, so apparently very close

They weren’t even developing a nuclear weapon according to our intelligence community as of March 26th.

Regardless if it was a week, a month, a year, a decade, it doesn't matter.
Why let them get any closer than they were?
Isreal has done the world a favor.

If the IAEA us saying a month or 2, i believe them.

The problem with that assertion historically is that we have been told this for at least the last 15 years but they have not produced or obtained one.
They could have purchased one from the Russias, their next door neighbors in Pakistan could have supplied them with the tech...but thus far they've never unveiled it. The Israelis have been threatening to do something for at least that long as well.
I'm not discounting , certainly if they showed off for the world you have a bigger problem. Just seems a bit suspect. I think though the actions last year probably changed the equation because they proved they had some competent delivery system to get a a missile that far.
This may be pre emptive because of improvements made on the missiles more than a concrete knowledge of a real nuclear device.

Even the IAEA had to admit they were in violation.
They’ve refused to do that for years.

That's my problem. The list above goes back 30 years. Yet, thus far no nuclear weapons.

That's pretty much the only thing lending any credibility here

They've been weeks away from having nukes for over 30 years now.

Agreed.
