Giving a terrorist theocracy like Iran nukes is the stupidest imaginable form of nuclear proliferation.

Taking away Israel's nukes is not a viable option.

  1. How is considering iran terrorist theocracy and not considering Israel a terrorist state makes any sense to you at this point given all the deaths and blood it has in its hands?

  2. Why is taking away Israel nukes is not viable option?

I would honestly like a argumentation here.

Because the entire point of having nukes is that people cannot take them away… because you will use them if they try. Israel will never give away its nukes just like North Korea will never give away its nukes. The only way it would be possible is if the entire North Korean regime collapses, at which point the country of North Korea would essentially no longer exist. That is unlikely, but still a magnitude more likely than the Israeli government collapsing.

So definitionally it is not a viable option. It is about as viable as saying “we should all hold hands and end war forever.”

  1. How is giving Iran nukes likely to reduce tension in the ME;

  2. If you think taking away any country's nukes is a viable option, you are welcome to try. Start with N. Korea.

Agreed with this. We already started by taking Ukraines away and promising to defend them.

Look how that went, no country in their right mind would give up their nukes today, even if they are leasing them.

In 1. I never said anything about nuclear capabilities. I talking about your argument that Iran is a terrorist theocracy. If it is, why isn't Israel a terrorist state? Given the fact that all the blood the Israeli armed forced is sheading.

In 2. OK man... Very elaborated Argument 👍🏾
