I don't want Iran to have nukes but at the same time, Israel who is one of the biggest spreaders of terror in that region alongside Iran, who are currently casually bombing civilians in Gaza, have nukes. I want us to deal with Iran diplomatically rather than bombing the shit out of the country and pushing them more quicker to nukes because I feel like it's inevitable.
Unfortunately we have also regressed in the world, Ukraine once had nukes and they surrendered them back to Russia, in return they got "defence assurances" from America, UK, Russia and France and look at where that got them, an invasion by Russia who is currently trying to genocide their entire people, America essentially abandoning them and UK/France's half assed support.
Who decides who is allowed nukes?
Thanks to our half-assed support of Ukraine, we have perfectly demonstrated to the world that you can do whatever you like as long as you have nukes and your opponent doesn't. So we've regressed in the sense that nukes are now once again the only deterrent in the world against an aggressor state and unfortunately, the fact of the matter is, more countries are going to try to get nukes now because we've perfectly demonstrated that defence assurances are worthless and nukes are the only true deterrent in the world.
Not just us though, Russia did too, when their own CSTO ally was attacked and they didn't lift a finger, when Assad was overthrown and they did nothing, they also won't lift a finger to help Iran. The world lately is just showing that you can only rely on yourself and the only confirmed deterrent in the world is nukes and I do unfortunately see a future where even more countries have nukes and so are only American/European allies allowed nukes? When they acquire nukes, how are we meant to stop others from acquiring nukes?
Edit - And NATO, Nukes and NATO, but sometimes I question NATO too with how spineless NATO can be helping Ukraine.
