Are we safer because we have nuclear #weapons, irrespective of whether these are dependent on or independent of the #UnitedStates? Having them makes us a target. The logic of possessing them makes that of nuclear #proliferation irrefutable. If we have them, & other nuclear weapons States have them, why shouldn't #Iran have #nukes? Oh, but THEY are nasty, & WE are good!

US military action in Iran risks igniting a regional and global nuclear cascade

"If abandoning a nuclear program leads to regime change, relinquishing weapons results in invasion, and remaining at the threshold invites military strikes, the logic goes, then security is only truly achieved through the possession of nuclear weapons – and not by negotiating them away or halting development before completion."

US military action in Iran risks igniting a regional and global nuclear cascade

The Trump administration has called on Iran to permanently end its nuclear program. But threats of force may undermine effort of nonproliferation.

If you #solve for #everybody what the fuck do you have to #analyze? #Simplicity is always the #eventual #outcome. If you think about that you understand that is necessarily the case. It can't be any other way. #Proliferation is #chaos. #Meditate. #Refocus your #mind and see what I'm talking about.
@heiseonlineenglish free info is the new war but it is also a powergrab? i say let them have the info, they are going to get it anyways - that is just being realistic #proliferation
@RxBrad they like money too much, they will recoup value, every million counts, maybe they will see open source models and localagi on smb networks as a threat, which it is #proliferation accords
I cannot say in public what I think of this attitude. Nuclear armed powers have lost wars. They *must* lose wars of aggression and imperial conquest; otherwise it means the death of #nuclear non- #proliferation and nukes for all. Which we have to assume is going to happen now.
