been said elsewhere that there is at least 1 potential downside for all this. ie everyone in ME will consider getting nuc capability,esp since Israel is known to have them. that seems quite likely. Saudi can sure afford it and i doubt the US would actively stop it. Egypt would prob like to but they are broke. the oildoms could afford it but would they go there? the 4 countries we regime changed aren't capable. Jordan,Morocco,Algeria,Lebanon? Hamas,ISIS,Taliban,Hezbollah? something to think about.
Whoever is saying such things might have a double digit IQ at-best, after having just watched the smack-down on Iran.
The real lesson is how do they pay Tribute to the US and bow the knee quickly, as to not get on the bad side of Trump.
Americans don’t see the world as it is, a very primitive and brutal place that only operates on dog-eat-dog rules.
We think our luxury of discussing things altruistically, ethically, and morally are something that other people share in the fecal cesspools of underdeveloped savages and their regional overlords.
But it is simply not so.
The somewhat serious threats the US has at the top of its list just got a lot smaller.
Back in 1991, Iraq was one of the largest armies and air forces in the world with better combat capability than most current nations, including most Europeans.
When the US demonstrated what Mike Tyson looks like when you let him out of a cage, ending Iraq’s combat power in a matter of weeks, it sent shockwaves through the self-absorbed dictators in Beijing, Moscow, and Tehran.
Tehran just got all but scratched off that list.
The newer Mike Tyson doesn’t ever miss when he swings, comes in at night when your’e asleep in bed, and splashes your brains out all over the wall like a sport.
So Beijing and Moscow will scramble to go asymmetric in a world where the US and allies just spent the last 24 years sniffing through every terrorist cell’s communications, and tracked them back to their points of origin on a regular basis.
I wouldn’t be surprised if North Korea doesn’t come over from the dark side, recognizing weakness among his former backers.
