Secretary Hegseth made a confusing statement today: "You can't have a nuclear bomb… we precisely took it away. And then even after that, they didn't have that. They didn't come to the table with a willingness to give it away."

The logical inconsistency is striking. If a nuclear capability was "precisely taken away," then it no longer exists to be given away at a negotiating table. This kind of rhetorical confusion around nuclear weapons—where clarity is paramount—creates unnecessary ambiguity about strategic realities and policy objectives.
