Re: Gupshup Opinions: A new round of sanctions
Sanctions aside, I just don't agree with the whole concept of nuclear non-proliferation. This policy is based on hypocrisy.
It will be a less ambiguous position, if all world powers say that "nuclear weapons are bad, and we will rid the world of all nuclear weapons, so we are destroying our own stock-piles and will make sure no one gets to make nukes as well".
Right now, the policy is, "we have nuclear weapons. We will not allow you to have them because we can't trust you with these toys. We will put sanctions on you if try to build nukes. But if you cunningly develop nuclear weapons then all will be forgiven and we will again be your friends".
This is stupid. This is hypocritical. This is impractical. And worst of all, all this brouhaha over sanctions only helps to hurt the poor people of Iran/Cuba/Iraq/whereever.
