If countries keep fucking with all of the countries that don’t have nukes, why wouldn’t they speedrun getting nukes?

Vance fucks up everything he touches...pretty poor performance for a Harvard educated guy unless he's actually trying to fuck everything up

Didn't the US already negotiate a nuclear deal with Iran?

[–] massacre@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

You mean when Obama was President? Yes
