    Trump literally admitted he would’ve never attacked Iran if they had nukes. He basically told the world “get nukes as fast as possible or I’m gonna invade you next!”.

      Trying to get an nuke would also start the war though . Hillary the warmonger also said the same thing about annihilating iran if they try to get a nuke

        They all say that, but look at the DPRK… no one has even mentioned invading or “annihilating” them ever since they got their nukes.

          Imma use this comment to bitch

          I took a class forever ago, something like international relations, and the teacher said “this course will teach you why capitalism is bad”. It was shortened because it was a summer course and they never got around to actually explaining their stance

          During the first few days, when trying to name countries that had nukes and came up short one, I said “North Korea” and they snapped back at me “North Korea doesn’t have any nukes” so I kinda didn’t pay attention for the rest of the class. Passed it because all I needed was credits. I learned nothing. But that has annoyed me for far too long

            It might have been true at the tine, nk didn’t sucessfully test its first nuke until 2006. I suspect the US accusing them of selling yellowcake to Iraq accelerated things.

              It was definitely after that point in time (I double checked) and in retrospect “forever” wasn’t as long ago as it felt

                I guess your history teacher didn’t keep up to date with history. Like it ended in the 90s or something :fukuyama:.

            I think I know what you mean, I also feel a bit “mandela-ed” with this tbh. I do remember quite vividly that the DPRK didn’t have nukes. Like at least until Trump 1. But idk, in this reality they do lol 🤷‍♂️
