Iran’s Nuclear Weapons Program Isn’t Dead Yet

Following US strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, Russian official Dmitry Medvedev hinted that countries like Russia or North Korea might supply Iran with nuclear warheads directly. This threat should be met with a firm US response based on strategic brinksmanship.

If Russia or its allies provide nuclear weapons to Iran, a state that has serially violated the Non-Proliferation Treaty, President Trump should make it clear that the United States will, in turn, provide nuclear weapons or station intermediate-range nuclear missiles in Russia’s own neighboring countries, such as Ukraine, Poland, or Kazakhstan, to re-establish deterrence.

“President Trump should make it clear that the United States will, in turn, provide nuclear weapons or station intermediate-range nuclear missiles in Russia’s own neighboring countries, such as Ukraine, Poland, or Kazakhstan, to re-establish deterrence.”

ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!

AND, blow up any and all nukes that they sent.

” Russia or North Korea might supply Iran with nuclear warheads directly”

And let it be known you would be the retaliatory target along with the mullahs, gloves off.

I do not believe anyone wants to give those crazy bastards nukes.

No, Russia might deal with Iran on things that work for both but Russia’s not impressed with Mullah insanity.
