@professor_mearsheimer: Could a single US nuclear strike destroy Iran’s nuclear ambitions—or unleash an even bigger disaster? John Mearsheimer explains why attacking Pickaxe Mountain with a nuclear weapon might not end the war, but could trigger retaliation, encourage nuclear proliferation and weaken the global taboo against using nuclear weapons. #USA #IranWar #NuclearWeapons #Iran #Geopolitics

If US uses a nuclear weapon for the 2nd time,none proliferation treaties all over the world would not hold anymore. It will be a new world where countries would race to have one since US proved that nuclear armed states can't enforce against its uses.

If the US bombs Iran with a nuclear weapon, or if any country uses a nuclear weapon against another, the world as we know it will forever be changed. There's no telling where things will go after that nuclear attack

Trump is 80 years old, and given his age—and the fact that his death is not far off—he doesn’t want anything to remain after he’s gone. He is evil, and his greatest desire is to destroy the world.

i think if the USA starts doing this, if you are for or against it. Are we not afraid other countries wouldn't use it either because if the USA does it , then Pandora's box can be opened 🥺

I agree with all of this but especially the argument about future proliferation- the consequence would likely be a chain reaction where up to 20 countries would drive to get nukes, including US Forest allies that lost confidence in US security as well as regional conflict actors.
