And we wonder why rogue regimes seek nuclear weapons. My biggest concern in geopolitics is non-proliferation and every little thing we do like this works against it.

This is a red herring. Rogue regimes will, by construction, seek the security offered by nuclear weapons. Hence the need, where possible, to apply diplomatic or military means to prevent exactly that.

Even democratic regimes should start acquiring nuclear weapons - ie. every EU country, given Trump's comments and stance about the EU.

You have to admit that non-proliferation was a masterful coup by the capitalist ruling class.

The fruits have just ripened, and they're starting to harvest them.

If they get close we drop a bunker buster on them to remove the threat but you complain anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
