Did Erdogan ever castigate Syria for their secret nuclear facility?
The ones Israel attacked? What year was it and i'll get my sources.
Secondly the regions nuclear free Middle East foreign policy draw's no exceptions. Nobody ever said such a thing.
I see. Tell me Kaya, have any of those responsible powers ever used nuclear weapons?
Yes, Japan, WWII, and perfectly justified imo.
And another thing Kaya, does any nation really need thousands upon thousands of nuclear weapons? How many is enough? Who is threatening the US with nuclear Armageddon? Who threatens Russia? China?
No, which is why Russia and the US actively seek to reduce this arsenal. There is no reason to believe the US would decommission all of them when Russia does not promise too also. Why should we allow a Western nation to loose an advantage over Russia who clearly is not western?
We don't say much to China because there is no imminent threat of them using it, while Iran and Israel remain at loggerheads with the region and each other.
Nuclear Weapons - China Nuclear Forces
I'm not suprised if this issue pops up one day. But the West is in no position to speculate as there military specifics are so secretive. At the moment, due to the imminent threat, concentrating on a nuke free ME is the best thing.
I see. So India and Pakistan are close chums? I could have sworn they were once on the brink of nuclear war.
Firstly Pakistan is in no position to contemplate war, and even so, India and Pakistan are two countries who are large enough to absorb the devastation, whereas a nuclear attack on the Middle East would likely wipe out the majority of Arab states, including Israel and a good chunk of Iran and cause complete chaos in Europe which would in turn undermine NATO and American security. Pakistan and India can have a nuclear war if they like but they dont have enough to affect our region or international security hence are of no interest to us. It is why a nuke free ME is far more an attractive proposition to the West.
I see. Then it's very odd that your "responsible power" argument is valid for everyone except Israel. Israel has had nuclear weapons for over 40 years and never used one. Yet somehow... she is different.
Nobody in the region is responsible for one, it is too volatile and too heated a region to risk having such weapons. Tashah, its only a matter of time.
Isn't this the same Erdo-Ghandi that is buying Israeli weapons?
Lol. What a crock of hypocritical crap.
TAF is buying Israeli drones, not the AKP. Nobody tells TAF what weapons it can't and can buy. I dont see what relation this has to what we are discussing anyway.
