MAD only works when your opponent is afraid of dying. When your motivation is the promise of an afterlife, like all the Abrahamic religions give, it’s a more precarious situation.
So the US, Israel AND Iran should not have nukes. I know two of the three already do have them, but I’m not sure that the last one getting nukes will actually make things more stable. Especially when the first two are being run by geriatrics.

I mean, we aren’t fucking with North Korea, Russia, or China are we? They’ve all been demonized about as much as Iran. Why not them?
(It’s nukes, partly Israel being a death cult right now but mostly the nukes.)
