If someone with a gun holstered at their waist asked you to give you your money, would you refuse?
If Iran will get access to nuclear weapons, it's status in international politics will change drastically, all leverages the west has on Iran (like the ability to impose sanctions upon human right violations and counter their violent export of the shiite ideology) will more or less disappear
- whimsicalism 5y agoIs that why we don't have the ability to impose sanctions on North Korea?
- Protostome 5y agoFirstly, the NK situation is terrible. South Koreans are basically living with a sword hanging above their neck 24/7. I don't think that the middle east, being an unstable region to begin with, would benefit from yet such a major destabilizing factor. Iran has an ability to inflict much more damage upon the west than NK and Pakistan combined. It is an oil rich country, neighbor to the one of the biggest oil exporters in the world and is located in the center one of the busiest naval traffic routes.
