If I Was Iranian...
I would be demanding that my government develop nuclear weapons. The Cunning Realist agrees:
Scenario: China, the world's preeminent superpower, invades and occupies Canada on a false pretense and lets it descend into civil war. The U.S., a developing nation without nuclear weapons, watches from next door. Then a senior Chinese official who could soon be the country's next president starts singing songs about "bombing the U.S." at political rallies. He gets laughs and applause.
As an American, would you or would you not demand that Washington develop the ultimate deterrent against that madness?
