Tulsi Gabbard says Iran could produce nuclear weapons "within weeks", months after she testified before Congress that the country was not building them. The US Director of National Intelligence said her March testimony - in which she said Iran had a stock of materials but was not building these weapons - had been taken out of context by "dishonest media".

    1. What would have protected Ukraine better than Nukes is NATO membership.

    2. yes

    3. https://lemmy.world/post/31766956/17820194

    I find myself in a lot of these discussions on Lemmy where the other person cannot tell who said what previously and it makes me think it’s all just a bunch of bots here to suck dictator cocks.

      they didn’t need NATO, they needed US to comply with is treaties, in hindsight trusting the US was a mistake.

          They were invaded by 1 of the 2 nations that agreed to protect them if they disarmed. The US did not uphold its obligations 3 times in a row through multiple administration’s. The latest conflict in Ukraine is a result of actions taken by the USA, followed by inaction on our part.

          If we didn’t request their disarmament, lie about protecting them, it would be a very different landscape there right now.

          It isn’t solely the fault of the US, but we are major contributors.
