Baloney. U.S. defense policy in 2026 should be built on the presumption that every foreign nation has access to a nuclear arsenal, and has the capability to deliver these weapons to the U.S. There — it’s that simple.
Nuclear weapons technology is more than 80 freaking years old. Telling another nation that it can’t have nuclear weapons is like telling them they can’t use Toyota pickup trucks.
You talk about Iran as if it's just "another nation."
Iran is not a nation, it is an abomination.
They are ruled by religious fanatics who will not hesitate to start a nuclear war. Their "Twelver" religious duty compels them to start a nuclear war if they can.
They are a bloody death cult who will leap at any opportunity to kill millions of people.
And you clearly do not grasp this.
You are intelligent and generally knowledgeable, yet you have a gaping hole in your understanding of just how dangerous of a threat the current Iranian government is.
In that direction lies death. Perhaps death for the whole world.
