I think its pretty funny that the U.S. tries to act like it is the authority on who should or shouldn't have nuclear weapons when it is the only country who has ever used a nuclear weapon on another country. And two of them at that! We even sort of offered under the table some nukes to France during the Vietnam War era in kind of a wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more kind of way.
And I also think it is funny that some of the same people who are saying that other countries should have no nukes or less nukes are also advocating that the U.S. increase its nuclear arsenal.
Its this kind of talk that makes the rest of the world think we are hypocrites. |
Every country tries to bend the world to there views. Every country.
The only ones who can, are the most powerful. People can hate the US all they want, but they are just hating us because we are no better or worse then any other country.
Well, we are no better with respect to trying to shape the world into our image. I think our image is better then most.

So we should be allowed to have nuclear weapons while other countries should not because we think our image is better than their image? I just don't see that as a strong rationalization for our behavior.
And technically Iran is allowed to pursue civilian uses of nuclear energy under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. We signed that agreement with a whole bunch of countries. If we were that worried about rogue states getting their hands on nuclear weapons, that was a stupid fucking decision to sign that treaty.

No, we should be allowed to have nuclear weapons and other can't because we can enforce what we want to enforce.
The world is filled with a bunch of bullies. We just happen to be the biggest bully, so we set the rules.
If Afghanistan was the biggest country, they could try and make the world there view (they try now, just with less success).
I am not saying it's right or wrong, it's just how it is. If you want humans to act differently, build a different human.
