- amanaplanacanal 6mo agoIf they were smart, build a defensive nuclear arsenal. It certainly seems to have worked for North Korea.
- karmakurtisaani 6mo agoA functional nuclear weapon would definitely have prevented the current war. Hard to blame them for trying.
- votepaunchy 6mo agoCircular reasoning. The current war is only because Iran was building a “functional nuclear weapon”.
- scotty79 6mo agoYou can definitely guess what are they gonna do with it now since the inept US attack obliterated every incentive there was to not do that.
- donkeybeer 6mo agoI don't care about hypotheticals, there is already a hyper violent belligerent country in the middle east with a few hundred "illegal" nukes. Their officials/thinkers have already stated insane things about using the nukes on eg innocent European capitals without anyone doing counter clarification or pushback. I'd worry much more about the nukes and fissile materials there.
