During the #ColdWar, #US - #USSR trade was negligible - deterrence was cleaner.

Today, superpower interdependence is measured in trillions, and that interdependence has become a weapon.

But #Europe sits in the same bottle - without its own #deterrence capacity.

The question isn't "who stings first" - it's how to get out of the bottle at all.

“What gives the United States and Israel the right to decide which countries are allowed #deterrence, #sovereignty and #military power, and which countries must remain permanently vulnerable beneath the threat of invasion, sanctions, assassination and destruction?

That is the real issue. It always was.

So What If Iran Has Nuclear Weapons?

By what authority do the United States and Israel decide which nations are allowed deterrence and which must remain exposed to empire?
