"Trump May Be Triggering the Fastest Nuclear Weapons Race Since the Cold War. The threat of U.S. withdrawal has prompted countries around the world to talk about building their own nuclear arsenals":
politico.com/news/magazine/202
Allied nations relied on being protected with the help of the nuclear umbrella of the United States. Trump's disloyalty to what were allied nations cause them to realize that they need their own nukes.

The Kyiv Independent · 30 years ago today, Ukraine traded nuclear arms for security assurances, a decision that still haunts Kyiv todayBy Kateryna Hodunova

"#Israel continues to maintain its long-standing policy of #nuclear opacity: it neither officially confirms nor denies that it possesses #NuclearWeapons. In December 2014 the United Nations General Assembly overwhelmingly approved a resolution on #NuclearProliferation risks in the #MiddleEast that urged Israel to renounce the possession of nuclear weapons, accede to the 1968 Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (Non-Proliferation Treaty, #NPT) ‘without further delay’ and place all of its nuclear facilities under International Atomic Energy Agency (#IAEA) comprehensive safeguards.

"It is estimated that Israel has approximately 80 nuclear weapons. Of these, approximately 30 are gravity bombs for delivery by aircraft. The remaining 50 weapons are for delivery by #JerichoII medium-range ballistic missiles, which are believed to be based with their mobile launchers in caves at a military base east of #Jerusalem. The operational status of a new #JerichoIII intermediate-range #BallisticMissile is unknown. In 2013 Israel conducted a launching test of a ‘rocket propulsion system’, which appeared to be for a Jericho III missile."

This is how the world comes closer to Nuclear War, and it's aided by the idiotic and corrupt US Congress.

Kim: OK, but I want to be able to develop my nuclear weapons without oversight.

Putin: Deal.

'..if Biden really wanted to take on Iranian oil sales, he could aggressively target the “ghost fleet” of vessels carrying Iranian crude..'

What's the best way to prevent #nuclearproliferation with #iran?

I blame Bush Jr for letting this get out of hand, but the question is what to do now.
