“B.S. We do not have a dog in that fight.”
B.S.
How quick you are to forget those Marines killed in the Beirut bombing, and all those American Servicemen killed and maimed at Iran’s direction in Iraq, and their continued planning, funding and organizing to strike against the USA - including in the USA - while they publicly lead chants of “Death to America”.
Waiting for nukes to go off, before it passes your threshold of a dog in the fight?

No. MAD actually works. Think about.
There was no major war between us and the Soviets because MAD actually worked. The last war between India and Pakistan was before they both acquired nuclear weapons. None have occurred since; they don’t let things go too far. MAD works there too. Letting the Saudis have nuclear weapons would wind up preventing a major military conflict between them and Iran. MAD would work in their case too.
