Precisely the reason why nations like North Korea and Iran have no business having nukes. Let's face it, in an ideal world nobody would have them. But it's too late for that now, and eliminating all nukes from the world is an undertaking that will never happen. Still.... I think we can count on more restraint on the part of the major powers like the U.S., Russia, and China... than on the aforementioned.
Iran have as much right as anyone else to have nuclear weapons if people are going to have them. It's not a justifiable necessity to have the means to end all human life on planet earth. America has proven that it clearly cannot be trusted to restrain itself and Britain cannot even aim their's in the desired direction. It's laughable that the only country responsible for actually intentionally firing nuclear weapons at civilians and massacring and maiming them in horrendous numbers is now the one lecturing everybody else on restraint and who should be allowed them. Particularly now at a time in History when you have who you do in charge. This is why Trump being Orange is so prescient. It is precisely that vanity that will blind him to the suffering of others and actually do his best to out bastard all the other guys that went before him.
Beanz the world agreed to put limits on who could have nukes
On the subject of who should have them and who shouldn't, I'm gonna be pragmatic about it and say it should be limited to those countries that have systems in place to make use of the nukes less likely. Regardless of how you feel about the U.S., or the history of nuclear weapons, I'd have to say the U.S. qualifies as one of those countries with a system of checks and balances which make the actual use of nukes less likely. Does Iran have that? Does North Korea? The U.S. realizes the huge responsibility that comes with having the world's largest arsenal of nuclear weapons. I have to believe Trump doesn't have a red button on his night table, which he can press whenever he feels like it. To me it doesn't matter who lectures who. To me it's a matter of practicality. As I said, we're beyond the point of no return as far as wiping nukes from the planet. So the next best thing is to limit who has them, because not every world leader is dealing with a full deck. However you might feel about Trump, again there's a whole system behind him... sort of a safety net.
@Gandalf you can't even get your posters straight boy. I was against the Iraq war yes and I still am. When the fuck did I say I was for Iraq? U r the daft one. Secondly I never said "rogue" what are you on about?
Yes I think this is a totally reasonable stance to take and quite often I feel you are like the middle ground between us right wing nut jobs and libtards like Beanz and Gandalf. We're crazy and they're retarded so it's best you stay in the middle young tito. I don't know if this is a trait of Puerto Rico, frankly I don't know much about Puerto Rico, but it is endearing. Always be Switzerland I hear it's quite nice.
Anywho I think the libs miss the point about nuclear weapons, and weapons in general. They are totally naive to the true nature of the human species, which has been fighting forever. That's not by coincidence, that's in our DNA. So the average liberal says "hey, I wake up and do my yoga, and then I meditate, then in the afternoon I paint pictures that represent my subconscious mind and how I feel, and then I go out with my Nikon and practice my street photography, and then I come home and read some Deepak Chopra." And there's nothing wrong with any of that, but they think everything can be settled over some Earl Grey tea taking about our feelings, or maybe some slam poetry lol, but we don't work like that as a species. That's why we need laws, cops and the military.
War and conflict will always be a thing and it's always man's prerogative to conceive the best weapons to protect himself, his family and/or his country. If Trump disavows nuclear weapons, will that make Kim Jong Shitdick do the same? No, it just makes more probable because Shitdick says "hmmm he have the superior fire power, I think we can take it."
So long story short YES nuclear weapons, but hopefully to never use them. I'm a legal gun owner who owns many guns and I keep them with the hope that I NEVER have to use them outside of my gun club. But if I'm sleeping and I hear my door kicked in or my window breaking, with my wife and kids in the house... the culprit is leaving in a body bag because I've got a gun in virtually every room lol. Don't want to use it, but best to have a gun and not need it rather than need a gun and not have it.![]()
