And if a promise is made to protect you for getting rid of nukes, like Ukraine, we really don’t mean it if a reality show host doesn’t feel like it. WTF is congress?!

The lesson: Go underground like N Korea and build your nukes.

That's undoubtedly the lesson countries will learn if they're not allied with the Western powers.

Which is why more nations are going to find ways to pursue nukes

Yea anyways

And even if you are a US ally like Ukraine but are attacked, the US isn’t really going to lift a finger to help you.

Wannabe dictator loves dictators

After Iraq and Iran it would seem that the only way a middle Eastern nation can prevent unwarranted attacks from the United States is to actually have a few nuclear weapons because the yanks sure like to bomb the living shit out of the ones that don't.

Right, we're about to enter the next cold war.

Canada needs a nuke!

😥😥

It's going to be worst

We are in Dr. Strangelove territory now. Except it’s more like Associate of Arts Strangelove. Or GED Strangelove.

How the hell does this all end?

Yes yes yes. This attack will mean more countries decide to get nukes. It's the only 100% deterrent

Ukraine gave up its nukes

Which makes Iran's desire for a nuke quite logical.

They're definitely going to strike

Exactly what some Canadians fear. Not today. Not tomorrow. But if we deny the US unfettered access to our water and minerals? Yeah, maybe then. His administration is that unhinged.

Trump still thinks he should get a nobel peace prize Lawrence O'donnell was right.Trump is the dumbnest President in American history.It's called a nobel peace prize Not I blew things up so I need a prize

Bad

Soon all countries will want nukes

Wouldn't Russia bombing Israeli nuclear sites be the same as what America just did to Iran?

Thought experiment: Iran gets nuclear weapons, makes peace with the US and Israel but the current regime still rules. Would this be an acceptable outcome?

100%

The lesson is that you should never give up your nukes based on promises from nations that tell lies for fun.

Trump will forever stain the history of the U.S.

Was just thinking this today.

Trump is actually picking on what "he perceives" as the weakest target, because he can't pick on the strong without getting his ass handed to him.

Ben know his stuff!

Sickening. Nothing matters to any of them or the people who put them there.

Exactly

But do we think it’s ever a good idea for militant Islamic regimes to have nuclear weapons?

Parroting Ben Rhodes now? 2016 you would be disgusted by what you have become. 1996 you would be go into hiding. Please get the help you seriously need. Your old friends are truly worried about you.

MAGA is fukkin stupid.

I'd almost wager that before long that Trümp will be characterizing 'Operation Midnight Hammer' as a special operation like his most admired dictator with nukes.

Chaos is what he loves

This was always the problem I had with not fully supporting Ukraine. . www.bbc.com/news/article...

Definitely thought abt this. We promised to defend them!!!!

Trump has demonstrated that neither Congress nor SCOTUS will restrain his actions leaving nothing between him and the nuclear arsenal.

It's not just that - don't forget about all the oil they have in Iran. I'm sure that plays into his "bring down the price of gas" promise - which they'll find an excuse to reneg on even with the large reserves (but think about the profits)

He couldn’t get Greenlands minerals so he went after Irans

Didn’t LBJ try that with North Vietnam ? Didn’t think that was prproductive

It’s why Iran wants a bomb. Once you have one, everyone leaves you alone.
