France being famous for having disposed of all 290 of its own nuclear weapons, of course.

To be fair Iran would use their nuke on Israel and everyone knows it.

[–] stray@pawb.social 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Would they, though? Knowing that the entire rest of the world would be down their throats in an instant? Knowing Israel would immediately nuke them back?

In May 2012, Iran's Military Chief of Staff declared: "The Iranian nation is standing for its cause and that is the full annihilation of Israel."

If you read more of the list of threat, it is highly probable.

It make sense to go to war against someone who is building a device to instantly destroy you.

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It makes sense to build that device as a deterrent against Us-Israeli aggression...not that there was any proof of it anyway. Besides, trump destroyed the deal we had to prevent Iranian nukes so now Iran MUST arm itself. He's an absolute fucking moron.

[–] Kuinox@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Iran was already arming itself.
Else why did they had undeclared nuclear facilities ?
Why are you defending Iran, is it too hard for you to have 2 evil governement attacking each other, one of them must be a good guy ?

If you saw how Israel was acting and that the US was a fucking warmongering psychopath lead by an absolute fucking clown in 2016 what would YOU do?

[–] Kuinox@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Nothing, I'm just a civilian not living in any of the country you cited.

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Still and unprovoked war started by Israel and the US so yes, there is definitely a good guy and a bad guy in this particular scenario.

[–] Kuinox@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

It isn't unprovoked, Iran officials clearly expressed multiple time the will to annihilate Israel, and funded terrorist targeting them.
How is that not provocation.

SO YOU AGREE that the US should be nuked because of CIA actions in central and south America in the 50s-80s
