YouTube Description
as posted by the channelOne of the most common arguments right now is:
“North Korea has nuclear weapons. Pakistan has them. Why not Iran?”
But that logic assumes past failures should become future standards.
North Korea’s nuclear program didn’t stabilize the region — it entrenched a hostile regime and increased global risk. If anything, it’s evidence that stronger intervention should have happened earlier.
Iran is not a neutral actor. It supports proxy groups, engages in regional aggression, and has directly and indirectly targeted American interests.
“Others have it” isn’t a strategy.
It’s an argument from past mistakes.
