Let's Get Rid of All Nukes.

Getting rid of nukes wouldn't make the world safe, even tho that's our default inclination. The world wars happened because there were no nukes and therefore nothing stopping people from attacking each other. Nuclear weapons are a huge deterrent due to mutually assured destruction and have actually made things more peaceful. Now I wish people were inherently good that no weapons were ever needed and peace was the default setting but that's unfortunately not the case, not as long as there are religions pitting people against each other

Love watching the banter

When we stabilize the international order, that's job one - aggressors first, Iran last.

Why did the United States create the Manhattan Project and begin the process of a nuclear reactor and an atomic bomb?

Basically it was because the Jews who assisted had fled for their lives from Nazi :Germany and they knew of a German push to get THEIR own atomic bomb. The Manhattan Project was the very first nuclear arms race. Hitler has pushed for Germany to have the first nuke, even as he and most of the world could barely understand the science and theories from Albert Einstein.

When Germany fell, it was discovered their scientists were maybe 30 years away from creating a nuke. But General Groves, head of the Manhattan Project, wanted to drop the two bombs: Fat Man and Little Boy. Japan refused to surrender and a major allied invasion of the Japanese mainland was in the planning stage. Groves originally wanted to target Kyoto, but Secretary Stimson forbade it.

Robert Oppenheimer had doubts about using the nuke. If it didn't work, the Japanese would have a model to create one. If it did work, it would create a massive arms race.

Safer world? In the 80s (when everyone was REALLY scared of global nuclear war) there was an acronym MAD: Mutual Assured Destruction.

Since the incineration of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, there has been nuclear proliferation all over the world, in all the countries you just mention. But there has not been ONE SINGLE NUCLEAR BOMB deployed. The world (including the rogue nations like North Korea and China) realizes that ONE nuke exploded means the end of the world.

YOU CAN'T GET MUCH SAFER THAN THAT.

And do you REALLY think that Russia, China, North Korea and Pakistan will give up their nukes?

Or are you imaging that they will disarm if American unilaterally gives up our nukes?

@JSul3 WRONG.
(from a news source my restrictions prevent me from citing)
Republicans in the House and Senate are tearing into the Biden administration for unfreezing $6 billion in Iranian assets months before Hamas terrorists launched a deadly and massive attack on Israel early Saturday – criticism that the Biden administration called "false and misleading."

"Just weeks ago, the Biden administration handed over $6 billion to Iran, and today, innocent Israelis were murdered by Iran-backed terrorists," Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., said in a statement. "We must continue to support our strongest ally in the Middle East and their right to defend themselves against these unprovoked, horrific attacks."

Blackburn spoke after Hamas terrorists invaded areas of southern Israel. Thousands of rockets were fired into Israel and dozens of fighters infiltrated through the border. Local Israeli media reported that at least 100 people have been killed in the assault.


This is how I can tell most of you far left wingers are not much more than teenagers. I was around when those Iranian assets were frozen, as a response to Iran committing an ACT OF WAR in 1979.
