I’ll preface this by saying I’m an American who hates Trump, his regime, and everything they stand for.
Every president has done some version of Venezuela and they always justify it with some Bs so I got to thinking what would I do in a situation where I was president and my intelligence community showed me proof that some dictator in a country that doesn’t really like us was creating nukes. Assuming you have all the correct information and it’s 100% true of course.
You can go around and around saying you need more info and all that. Let’s just assume they are building nukes and you know they will use it as leverage to harm your people economically or militarily
The same thing I do every time a hostile government, like the US, Russia, Israel, France, North Korea, etc gains nukes, nothing.
There are enough out there and I live within a target zone that there is no point in doing anything.
Nukes are entirely for posture. Everyone knows that once you turn that lever, there is no going back.
Remember democracy doesn’t mean more intelligent people in power just we decide which dumbass fucks the country for capitalists.
Slight correction: Two-party, first past the post democracy means that only 51% of the population decide which dumbass fucks the country while the other 49% effectively get zero say or representation in government.
I mean Trump is already a wannabe dictator going around doing what he wants with no consequence. It’s learned behaviour from his child raping days.
His child raping days stopped?
One could only hope.
Like North Korea? Trump has done nothing so far except shake the guy’s hands. That’s your answer.
Personally?
I doubt the government, military or intelligence agencies are going to be asking for my input.
It’s called Russia, and it’s been happening since the 1950s.
You do know that countries only start producing nukes in order to fend off big external threats, right? Big external threats like Russia, China or USA
I would understand that there is a massive difference between an unhinged crazy controlling weapons of mass destruction, and a tin pot tyrant who is simply hindering oil company profits.
