It's called MAD. Mutually assured destruction, and it's acted pretty well as a deterrent for up close to a century. In an ideal world nobody would have them. We have them, does that mean we should be bombed by another state?Here's a question, if you believe this. Do you think pretty much every country should have them then?
I agree with the first part, but it's never going to happen.No one should. The less the better.
But if you are constantly being attacked by your neighbours then you probably need a deterrent. It is better than invading your neighbour and killing thousands of innocents.
Pakistan and India balance each other for example.
Should Trump ?I agree with the first part, but it's never going to happen.
For me preventing proliferation is the next best option, the less there are the less chance of some idiot letting one off.
I'm wondering where you'd draw the line, should Yemen and the Houthi have them? North Korea?
Honestly I'm no expert. But where the fuck is the current crisis? Its Gaza. This airstrike just makes the situation worse.I agree with the first part, but it's never going to happen.

They are worst of the worst,evil coonts.I hope the Iran situation doesn't distract too much from aid gettng to the starving and dying innocents in Gaza.
It's incredible how cruel Israel is.
Well they already do so it's kind of moot.Should Trump ?
Iran on the defensive, don't make me laugh. They've been committing terrorist acts since 1979 and funding terrorism worldwide. They've subjugated their population such that if you're seen as a threat or say something out of turn you end up swinging from a crane. The sooner that regime falls the better for the middle east.Pakistan has them and we all survived. If Iran had them there may be more chance of peace than now.
If Iran weren't constantly on the defensive there may be a chance for the people there to have more freedoms.
Having a massive threat against Iran only supporysthe hardline there. Its the same with Palenstine and anywhere else.
Peace breeds peace. And war breeds death and land grabs.
You’ve copied and pasted that I’ve just read it word for wordIran have launched a retaliatory volley of more than 100 drones towards Israel, which take several hours to make the journey.
The IDF has destroyed some of drones outside Israel's airspace, but some remain on course, a military official has said.
Agree with everything, I'm not having a go, just wonder where or if you'd draw a line. Like, should Hamas have nuclear weapons?Honestly I'm no expert. But where the fuck is the current crisis? Its Gaza. This airstrike just makes the situation worse.
The Israeli government are beyond evil.

Israel are the example of why we might as well get rid of our nuclear weapons and spend the money on the here and now, given that Israel are telling us that they are constantly being attacked, on all sides, and yet they’ve had nuclear weapons since 1967. Seems the deterrent effect might be a tad overstated!Agree with everything, I'm not having a go, just wonder where or if you'd draw a line. Like, should Hamas have nuclear weapons?
I also don't know the answer, but the logical end point of MAD is that everyone should have them then the World would be a more peaceful place
MAD works on the basis that participants are all able to think rationally. The Iranian regime do not conform to our notion of rational thinking .It's called MAD. Mutually assured destruction, and it's acted pretty well as a deterrent for up close to a century. In an ideal world nobody would have them. We have them, does that mean we should be bombed by another state?
If you believe Netanyahu's woe-is-me tall tale of Iran's nuclear stockpiling then he's caught you hook, line, and sinker.
Nowt to do with US at the time it was a carve up based on the interests of the UK and France.One consequence of the allies victory in WW1 was the collapse of the Ottoman empire and subsequent carve up of the Middle East.
Can't help but think that things would be better if the British and Americans had not been the prime movers and shakers in the area
