What’s seriously mind-baffling
is how nobody seems to question the fact that the United States, which is by far the most militarily aggressive nation in contemporary international affairs, has nuclear weapons. No seriously the fact that the US has nukes scares me far more than Iran having nukes.
since ww2 it just became a complete trope that the united states HAD to have nuclear weapons as the protector and arbiter of western civilisation. but the fact that the paranoia and scaremongering succeeded to the point where nobody seemed to advocate getting rid of them once the soviet union fell is sick
Justin you’re not the only one on that thought. I’ve been completely terrified of nuclear weapons since I got into politics (although that was only like 5 years ago), it’s always been terrifying to think that we have them and never talk about them but are so quick to condemn other countries that even think about nuclear power.
