This. Any country without nuclear weapons is at the mercy of those that do. It's just strategic. Might as well get some clean energy out of it.

- boguscoder 5mo agoYou made it sound like any country that wants nuclear weapons can get them.. just look at Iran. I think existing nuclear weapons club is very interested in keeping membership pretty tight
- rogerrogerr 5mo agoThis seems clearly not very true; Iran didn’t seem very at the mercy of the US this year. There is a ton of resistance to actually using nuclear weapons, seemingly making them practically irrelevant.
- slow_typist 5mo agoAlso, for a single Country getting the capabilities might be a plus but if some 100+ countries have nuclear weapons, all countries are in a worse position than today. This is a sub zero sum game.
- matheusmoreira 5mo agoVenezuela was. North Korea doesn't seem to be. Nukes are one of the differences between the two nations. Iran was literally attacked and bombed. Seriously doubt that would have happened if they had nukes.
- Tade0 5mo agoNorth Korea has China, Venezuela has no one. Meanwhile the other day Moscow was struck by a significant number of drones and most likely it's not the last of such strikes. Either Russia doesn't actually have nuclear weapons or they don't mean much in the grand scheme of things.
