While I understand not wanting countries like North Korea and Iran having nukes, it does protect them from invasion. We've seen what happened after Ukraine gave up their nukes. Less we forget, the Neocons of the Bush era wanted to remake the entire Middle East, not just Iraq and Afghanistan. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

> nukes ... protect them from invasion Israel has nukes and Hamas still invaded them. Perhaps nukes protect you from invasion by rational actors, but I don't think they work on zealots. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Nukes alone do not prevent invasions. You need to have delivery mechanisms like medium/long range ballistic missiles and second strike capabilities like SLCMs. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
