- Hikikomori 8mo agoMost counties have signed non proliferation agreements.
- lwansbrough 8mo agoIran themselves are an NPT signatory! And yet they pursue nuclear weapons while countries like Japan, Germany, Canada and Netherlands do not.
- Hikikomori 8mo agoThey probably should get started on that as it seems to be the only detterent for genocidal regimes like Russia, US and Israel from attacking you.

Not only that, but the only way to do this is to stack the risk against yourself in the case it ever fails. Just look at the EU/Russia energy dependency. There is good reason that no serious nation does this (intentionally) with actually vital goods like their food supply (not even among allies, really).
