Get ready to see a lot more nations developing nukes soon

Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Iran, anybody else at risk of invasion, etc. The message of the current conflict is clear, if you have nukes you can bully and terrorize the whole world and invade any non-nuclear country you want. Nobody will stop you because "nukes". Thus if you're a good country and don't want to be invaded you need them, and if you're an asshole and want to bully all your neighboring nations you also need them.

What absolute idiots humans are for even inventing these damn things. Weapons powerful enough to let one man threaten the whole world. I feel it's only a matter of time before some leader with access to them goes crazy and actually does something, even if not in this current crisis.

That's the way it's been for decades. We wouldn't have invaded Iraq if they had nukes. Hoyt Mar 2022 #1
