Sorry, I didn’t mean to imply that Israel is responsible for ME problems.
On this topic, Israel has significant nuclear weapons. Iran’s pursuit of weapons is likely a deterrence strategy. Thus a good way forward is to work constructively with countries in the region towards establishing a nuclear free zone that includes Israel, Iran and Pakistan.
JCPA was a step towards that direction, which could potentially be extended to a broader agreement that gradually includes other countries as well.
We really need to get away from these powerful weapons. The crises of past decades have shown us that the issues that we are facing are global.
- recuter 6y agoUnfortunately in reality this is considered wishful thinking by every competent intelligence agency (not just Israel, and not just western). I suppose you could say North Koreas pursuit of nuclear weapons is likely a deterrence strategy. Kim Jong-un and the ayatollahs are afraid primarily of their own oppressed citizens, it is not a difficult concept to grasp. Certainly the threat of terrorism and refugees is a global one as Europe is slowly coming to realize. So is the threat of nuclear proliferation, especially when it comes to unstable regimes.
