…. The more likely someone is to use them.
While the current nuclear powers haven’t always behaved well, the last thing we need is higher likelihood of someone using nuclear weapons. I do t co do e the attack nor believe the stated justification but I agree that it would be bad for more countries to be able to use nuclear weapons
There is only one country on this planet with nukes that has used them, on civilian targets, twice.
“mutually Assured Destruction” may not yet have destroyed humanity but it’s insane to think it’s desirable.
the only time nukes have been used is when 1 side had them, it would seem the more forces that have them the less likely they are to be used
That is really naive
