In reply to the discussion: Why the U.S. should start telling the whole truth about Israeli nukes [View all]ripcord
(5,553 posts)36. The difference is that Israel has proven their responsibility with nukes
In 1967 and 1973 when Israel was attacked by overwhelming Arab forces they had nuclear weapons and even though they were almost overrun at the start of the Yom Kippur war the never went nuclear. Isreal has proven their responsibility with nuclear weapons in a way no other country has had to.
Now two extremist lawmakers have gone off the reservation and people with an agenda are acting like it is Isaeli policy. That is like considering the lunacy of Boebart and MTG to be reflective of U.S.policy.

OP
Russia and the US promised Ukraine security, and they haven't kept their word. Facts oneliners.

This could be said of several countries with nukes and probably less technical competence than Ukraine

Part of the process was mutual verification, but this discussion is pointless.

The future is a world of mutually assured destruction. Many states will have the capacity to cause "doomsday".
