“creating a real risk of a sea-based exchange of nuclear weapons.”
Yeah, anyone who writes stuff like this doesn’t have a clue about what the dangers are. The dangers of a country possessing nuclear weapons is not that it might use them, because most countries are not stupid enough to use them and ensure their own destruction. The danger is that, by having nuclear weapons, they are free to bully all of their neighbors who do not have nuclear weapons with virtual impunity.
And what you notice here also (concerning your bully comment), is that Pakistan and India don’t play that game with non-nuclear nations on their borders. India and Pakistan do have skirmishes and we know what they are all about.
Iran on the other hand is playing a fools game by proxy in it’s region. And when it does get nukes, you can bet your ass they’re going to play the bully game big-time.
Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and the emirate nations all know this. As I understand it, Egypt does as well.
So Obama plays this game of arm the Iranians with nukes, while the rest of Islam by and large, doesn’t have them.
The man is certifiably ignorant.
