Title skips the part that says “Let them take out (the cities)”

Fucking idiot.

“President Donald Trump suggested that Iran could “take out” Los Angeles and San Diego if it were allowed to develop a nuclear weapon, drawing condemnation from California leaders, including Gov. Gavin Newsom, who called the remarks “deranged and dangerous.”

    I find the idea that nuclear proliferation to theocratic despots could in any way be a positive development a little… difficult to believe.

    It’d definitely restrain Israel and crew, and the Iranian regime isn’t dumb enough to actually use a nuke.

    It’s bad enough with the nuclear states we have now - we don’t need another Israel in the region.

    That’s basically reasoning from vibes so there’s really nothing for me to say here without a thought process I can respond to, but also for example the Soviets getting nukes was definitely an improvement over only America having them. Deterrence works.

      “A well armed (global) populace has nothing to fear” is certainly an outlook one can have - though I think it’s rather myopic, I’m not really interested in getting into a debate about the hypothetical benefits to giving nukes to a brutally repressive theocracy right now. I hope you have a very nice day.
