Look at what happened to Libya when they gave up their nukes. Nukes are the only thing that deters the US and other imperial powers from fucking with your country. If a country wants to pursue socialism, they have to have nukes.
North Korea offers to give up nukes if US vows not to attack
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un told his South Korean counterpart at their historic summit that he would be willing to give up his nuclear weapons if the U.S. commits to a formal end to the Korean War and a pledge not to attack the North, Seoul officials said Sunday.
The only countries to ever give their nukes away were South Africa (Because they feared that Mandela would use it and they hated black people), Ukraine and Kazakhstan (Both because they were russian nukes anyway.)
I think there policy is "I swear to god give me a fucking excuse Iran give me a fucking excuse! I can only cum if I'm holding my finger over the button to murder every single person in Tehran so give me a fucking excsue!"
plenty, unfortunately. The US, Russia, the UK, Israel, Pakistan, and North Korea
Of which basically only NK has a valid reason for the policy

Yes, but that was a 4 years ago.

France as well afaik. I think China and India are the only nuclear powers with a no first use policy.
Israel has admitted it has nukes?
They haven't, which also means they never declared to not use their super secret nukes first.
The US is just letting them hold a few of theirs, just to see what it feels like
Its their own program developed with south africa
You are correct, I was just being dumb
You are also correct that there was some us involment. Dr teller had somethong to do with it.
Yeah I'd need to dig into my notes from a WMD elective I took in college, got two CIA folks to come talk to us in that class 👁️
Israel's is nominally because that would involve officially admitting that they have nukes, although it's not really a secret at this point
They should make their official policy "If we had nukes, we wouldn't use them first. Wink wink."
