Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Nope. Nuclear armed countries' policy that no more nuclear armed countries are allowed is something both expected and having very much material impact. If Iran gets their nukes - it's likely that Saudis or Egypt would want their nukes too, or at least that Israel or India would like to expand their stockpile. In turn, Pakistan or China or both could expand their stockpile too in response to India. This all has material impacts for everyone, including Trump

Now, Trump bombing Iran because Trump wants to get Nobel peace prize, if there's anything demonstrating detachment from material reality, that's it. This point could have been made much better in the linked article
