Preventing a nuclear Middle East is no longer possible. Israel has ~80 nukes, and it was recently announced that the US will be aiding a Saudi Arabian civilian nuclear program. You’re right, it would be better if there were no nukes on the

Unfortunately you're not going to see any sort of legal redress against American oligarchs in any sort of American legal venue. A country like France has shown that they're willing to take no an oligarch[0], and they have the nucl

That’s a needlessly antagonistic and insulting thing to say. This person that you’ve never met and probably never will doesn’t owe any of us anything. They’re out there doing what they want to do how they want to do it and if you don’t like
