The realist school of thought which sees nuclear weapons as defensive weapons tending to increase stability.

“Scholars” didn’t “worry” about Hitler either.

You can go to any university library and pull back issues of Foreign Affairs dating to around 1940, and see that they have always been wrong about virtually everything.

Right. The bombs over Hiroshima and Nagaski were "defensive weapons tending to increase stability."

“If it did get the bomb, the Middle East would probably become a more stable region.”
No doubt about it; yes, the Middle East would become far more stable.
In fact, there’s very little in the known universe that’s more stable than an uninhabited desert sea of glass.
And in short order, too, the entire world will be far more stable - without a human population always arguing and fighting over things.

Pedigreed, authorized, licensed, approved,... Cao tao before him, ignorant, unworthy peasants! Crawl between his legs! He is a designated, entitled member of the political/regulator class.

If these "realists" meant it, they would literally stake their lives on their ideology, which they claim is no ideology. They would say "Iran is not a threat" and I am so certain that Iran is a rational player and that a nuclear arms race in the Middle East will not endanger American security that if an American city of base in nuked, you all can lynch me.
Of course, they have no courage of convictions. They understand that they live above consequences, along side the isolationists hiding outside of major American cities.
