observer Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 Seems Israel has bubbled Iran for developing nukes; but hasn't Israel got nukes - another example of Western hypocrisy ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 Not really, because Obama got an agreement from Iran that they would stop the development of nuclear weapons in exchange for lifting of sanctions and more than a few $$$$$$$.

Confused52 Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 Obs, You may wish to think that Israel has nukes but Netanyahu couldn't possibly say. No Israeli government has ever confirmed it but the deterrent effect is still there. I think it is unfair to call it hypocrisy when it is about self preservation. Should Israel be open an honest with regimes that have pledged to destroy it as a state? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asperity Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 So you would rather Iran had them than Israel Obs? Strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted May 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 Nope, I'd prefer no one had them, but I'm afraid the genie is out of the bottle. So based on Donald's gun theory, the only way left is to have nukes, in order to deter aggression from nuclear powers, such proliferation of course will undoubtedly see the end of humanity.

observer Posted May 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 True, but the main players could be trusted to apply unwritten rules of restraint during the last cold war; proliferation brings with it an increase in political miscalculation.
