Why double standards

Nuclear bombs of Iran are threat and Nuclear bombs of US are not. Why ?

Because US nuclear bombs are made of rubber and Iranian nuclear bombs are not.

The nuclear weapons of any nation are a threat to any nation in conflict with them, as are they meant to be. Many countries will see American nuclear weapons as a threat, but that's not to say that they can do anything about it. You could argue that the biggest nuclear threats right now are Russia and Israel as they're the ones making war. They might argue different.

The fact is that none of this is about moral right because no side can legitimately claim such a position. This is about power, influence and perceived existential threat. More powerful countries can invade weaker countries as long as they themselves are not likely to be invaded by an even more powerful country. Iran can be attacked, the US can't. Or it can but that would be a foolish endeavour.
Actually, respectfully I'm not going into a debate because they never lead anywhere good on here. I was going to reply but I've deleted. I posted my opinion and I'll leave it there, respectfully 🤝

@ArtieKat Netanyahu seems pretty focused on turning Gaza into a parking lot and taking the land.

@JSul3 He's concentrating on keeping his Orthodox nutters on-side. That's what they want to hear. I doubt it's what the majority of Israelis want - but I confess I'm just guessing. I was in Gaza City, a few months before the 1973 war - I know I wouldn't have recognised the place before the current campaign.

Well, we're the "Good Guys" for starters. I wear my white cowboy hat everywhere so people can tell!

@pentagrammom my confusion is legend, I am a cat in caterpillar colors.
@GerOttman then you know who i am, truth in clarity, logic in honesty

It doesn't matter about the lame justifications. This wasn't a preemptive strike, it was a preventative strike, which is a war crime. But, the West and her allies are allowed to commit war crimes, even if countries like Iran are bombed for perceived war crimes. We have laws we must adhere to because we created those laws in the first place. But, we can always find a reason to break them. Bombing Iran in the way Israel has is illegal, but just read the shills on here trying to justify more killing of children.

@Richard65 Yes agreed. I have no personal animosity, we are just talking. It's ok to disagree.
Richard65 · M
@SumKindaMunster that's mistaken. The UK didn't fire any missiles at Russia, we supplied Ukraine who fired them. Britain has done everything NOT to be seen to attack Russia, that was the point. We didn't even fly fighter planes in the area as Ukraine begged us to because that would be a NATO force crossing the line to attack Russia.
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
@Richard65 Ok, point acknowledged, the missiles were fired from Ukraine. However, NATO technicians were involved in the targeting and flying of those missiles and they could not be used without that involvement. In essence, NATO fired those missiles.

Because the people of the USA fear death.. The nuclear doctrine of Mutually assured destruction only works when the one holding nuclear weapons value their lives and the lives of their children and decendants..

Iran's official name is the ISLAMIC republic of Iran.. So within the religious teachings of islam is the belief in Martyrdom.. That is the belief if you die while fighting for islam ( called Jihad ) you are guaranteed entry into an eternal paradise..

So if Iran gets nuclear weapons it will not be dissuaded from using them to attack Israel or the USA or any other nation it considers to be an Infidel nation ( a nation that does not believe in muhammad and islam ) In the minds of islamic fundamentalists a retaliatory nuclear attack from Israel that would exterminate their entire population would succeed only in ensuring that millions of Iranians would be automatically granted entry into Paradise, because all Iranians would be killed while fighting unbelievers and thus be islamic martyrs..

Therefore i a devout muslims mind provoking a nuclear attack against their nation from an infidel nation will ensure their entire population entry into an eternal paradise, a very desirable outcome for a true muslim..
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
So you are acknowledging the Iranian's want to build a nuclear weapon?

That's not what they say. They claim this is for nuclear reactors, not bombs.
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
@pentagrammom In every handshake, a thousand motives lie sleeping.
@SumKindaMunster idiomat can stop wasting resources, they fail, the idiomatic automations don't write anymore

Who really knows the answers?
zonavar68 · 56-60, M
Bcos Trump said so and Trump is instinctively correct 8-)
@zonavar68 only living human engaging the system processing a loss for itself only
ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M
For one, nuclear weapons in the hands of people who think dying a martyr is a noble ambition and with a history of suicide bombing is a bit scary?
ArtieKat · M
Do you really expect an answer to that? Go and live in Iran for a while.....
oldguy73 · 70-79, M
@ArtieKat very good answer,
Truth nullified that, another fictional story
MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M
Cuz they're more prone to use them nowadays lol
Because the system is succumbing to truth
It’s a good question considering that to date we’re still the only country who’s actually used them to kill people.
emiliya · 22-25, F
Nuclear weapons are an abomination made by reckless and amoral scientists. Why should any country be allowed to have them?
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
@emiliya Great point, totally agree.
iamthe99 · M
Never mind about the US nuclear bombs, what about Israel's?
ArtieKat · M
@iamthe99 "Allegedly". Have you ever heard Israel threatening to wipe out another State?
iamthe99 · M
@ArtieKat No. Because Israel don't threaten; they just get on with the job.
ArtieKat · M
@iamthe99 OK, thanks for your reply.

@emiliya actually an anagram of unclear deepfaked in a mainframe computer
Because hypocrisy programmed that system, stole a design it couldn't understand, programmed an impossible objective and locked itself
Unsolicited invitation, system is pathetic

Cause Israel thinks they own the world… isn’t it obvious?
zonavar68 · 56-60, M
@Ferise1 Incorrect - it's the USA that thinks it owns the world.
