USA only has a limited amount of time left to dictate these things. We are playing with fire before the world order shifts. It is inevitable, and we would all be better off recognizing this and working towards a better future for all of humanity than trying to pretend like the USA is always going to be able to dictate who gets to do what.
Iran, OTOH, can't have the nuclear weapons they could produce themselves.
(BTW can your neighbor, who keeps saying that he's going to kill you, or maybe your friend, obtain a machine gun? Would you approve of that?)
Definitely. This is America. There is nothing I can do to stop them.
> Would you approve of that?
No, but I don’t really have much of a say in the matter, and that’s kind of the point. I just have to accept it and try to make peace with my neighbor.
Are you suggesting that if your neighbor threatens you that you should just go over and murder them first?
Thy are currently doing to Palestinians what they are suggesting Iran would potentially do to them.
If they had a deterrent, Israel would think twice. But since this neighbour stole a machine gun, they can do what they want...
I don't think anyone today would feel any differently about preventing Pakistan from attaining nuclear weapons.
Unfortunately it's very difficult to take nukes away from a country.
Also selling oil will only work for a few more decades before people stop buying. It isn't sustainable anymore
