The Gun Is Civilization

[Atypical Liberal]

16. I did not advocate GIVING nuclear weapons to anyone.

You will notice that I never advocated giving nuclear weapons to anyone.

I said that every nation has the right to develop its defense strategies as it sees fit, and it is completely immoral for nations with nuclear weapons to try and dictate to others that they cannot have them.

Also, if you think Iran is doing this for "internal energy" needs, you are a sucker.

Which is why I specifically mentioned nuclear weapons. But whether for energy OR weapons, countries should be free to pursue such endeavors as they see fit and as their people allow.

And nations who use nuclear power for both have no business telling other nations that they cannot do it also.

Between the extrajudicial murders and the pro-nuclear proliferation view I'm just not quite sure what your understanding of "moral authority consists of, but I'm pretty sure it's not even remotely close to my views.

Likewise I'm astonished that you're evidently cool with the hypocrisy of nations with nuclear technology telling nations without it that they can't have it.
