So with the recent talk of Israel bombing the shit out of Iran if they continue to develop nukes and all the talk about how military action should not be taken and political action could stop the nukes from being built, in reality can any countries allow any future development of nukes?
Alright so why would Iran want nukes? Well their is the obvious destruction of Israel but why else? Because having nuclear weapons makes your Government invincible. If you have even one nuclear missile no country on earth will attack you if they can't first take that missile out. Even the mightiest countries on earth the US , Russia, China and Britain will not take action against you if you have a nuke.
Your Government can't be toppled externally or internally. You have a green card to kill as many people as you want and oppress your people as much as you want. You know that no country will intervene to stop you. You also know if your Government was actually falling and the nukes might find their way onto the black market the whole world will come to your aid.
So why would Iran give up nukes without military action? Sanctions will be lifted or aid will be delivered to keep your Government and people alive. look at North Korea and all the aid they receive every time their is a hostile action from North Korea the North demands more and more aid and other demands. Essentially Iran knows once it has a nuke it can safely build more nukes nobody is going to stop them. They also know that sanctions will begin to ease and aid will flow in if they even appear to be hostile. They can hold the entire region hostage knowing no other regional power has nukes (Other then possibly Israel) and that no regional power would dare confront them, in fact they know most international powers wouldn't dare confront them either with the threat of nuclear war.
Say Iranians try toppling the Iranian Government and they have a couple nukes. Would the UN allow the Iranian Government to fall? For that matter would the US, Russia, China or Britain allow the Government to collapse if the nukes could find their way onto the black market?
Now lets talk other countries then Iran. Every country that gets nuclear capabilities is one more man holding a detonator to a world wide bomb. We all know if nukes got used their would have to be a response and a nuclear one would inevitably occur. Each country to aquire nukes is one more country with a detonator.
Is it just me or should it be a major priority at the UN Security Council to prevent any country from acquiring nukes? Each time a country acquires nukes you pile more wood on a fire just waiting to burn out of control.In fact the UN should be doing everything in its power to reduce nukes. There are many ways that the worlds nuclear stock piles could be brought lower.
But any and all means necessary to prevent future countries from acquiring nuclear weapons should be taken. We cannot afford for a nuclear war to occur. Allowing any more regimes or in fact any countries for that matter to acquire nukes is very dangerous for all countries in the UN!
