The man who cried ‘bomb’. For more than 30 years, Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been telling the world that Iran was on the brink of creating a nuclear weapon. The UN disagreed but Isreal used this ageing pretext to justify its ongoing attacks on Iran.
Spend 33 years attacking a nation because they might have unauthorized nukes while the entire planet knows for a fact you have unauthorized nukes…
Is probably the surest way to make sure they develop nukes.
Because if they do develop them and threaten to use them, it’s the only way to stop you from attacking them. If Iran has nukes, then Israel has no reason to attack and a good reason to pursue peace for once in its entire existence.
They’ll change their tune when/if Iran can actually wipe them off the map, but not a day before.
It’s basically the Hasan Abi doctrine.
A general guide for nation-building to follow coined by Hasan Piker.
#1 Get Nukes #2 If asked to give up your nukes, do NOT give up your nukes. #3 If you’re accused of having nukes, drop everything IMMEDIATELY and find some nukes. (See: Iraq and Weapons Of Mass Destruction)

What even is an unauthorized nuke? Every nation either is or isn’t a sovereign nation.
I’m guessing this is in regards to the international nuclear non-proliferation treaty.
I mean, yes, while I want nuclear weapons to go the way of the waste bin, just as much as everyone else. You cant expect anybody to see whats happened to Ukraine and think, yeah, let’s get rid of our nuclear capability. Nuclear deterance does seem to work.
Im sure Israel’s nukes were directly authorized by god.
🙄
By the French in secret actually…
They wanted to use Israel as a proxy against Egypt, so they helped them develop nukes almost immediately after Israel was created.
If France launched a nuke at Egypt, they’d get one back.
So the plan was Israel would use a nuke if it came to it, then take the consequences while Europe escaped unscathed.
