Social-Democracy despite its name is in the modern age simply another form of liberalism.

American centric much.

Liberals are pro capitalism (sometimes with minor treats or reforms for their ingroup). Democrats, Republicans, Social Democrats, Greens etc. all liberals.

Great. I also don’t love any country having nukes, so there’s already two of us.

I think it has been proven repeatedly by the US that if you wish to truly be sovereign nukes are non-negotiable which is a great tragedy. (Libya, Venezuela, Iraq, Yemen, etc.)

I was well aware that your point was not about Iran, that’s why I made the cynical counterpoint I made.

Your cynical counterpoint was still stupid as it was about a related but entirely different situation. A country having nukes and being able to bypass MAD are 2 vastly different scenarios.

As for your second paragraph it's all irrelevant to the point at hand which is that if there is a risk of a country (especially one with a history of attempting to) bypassing MAD against you frustrating that attempt by any means necessary is the logical step to take.

Ukraine did have nuclear weapons and gave them up only under broad guarantees of continued independence… so… yeah.

I wonder what country has a history of not only using nuclear weapons but using "allied" (vassal nations) on the borders of competing nations to host their arsenal to threaten first strike capability. Might want to look into what actually caused the "Cuban" missile crisis. American nukes in Turkey threating first strike capability and the breakdown of MAD.

Also your Iran strawman was fucking stupid and I shouldn't have bothered responding to it. It was completely unrelated to what I said, even if Iran developed nuclear weapons they wouldn't have first strike capability on the US so it isn't relevant to doing whatever necessary to frustrate those attempting to destroy MAD by achieving first strike capability.

so... yeah...

Also also pointing out what is logical for a force to do in the face of certain situations doesn't mean I support it and especially doesn't mean I generally support any other force taking related but different actions. Really reminding me why I hate deabtebros.

I wish I knew as little as you about world events. Iran had a fatwa against nuclear weapons the idea of them trying to make them was as true as Iraq having weapons of mass destruction.

The best way to avoid being nuked is to ensure those interested in nuking you don't have first strike capabilities no matter the cost.

just multiple numbers and blacklists for specific things, so what?

Literally one blacklist for people/businesses who default on credit that stops them buying luxuries until they settle their debts.

You claim to be against propaganda yet you spread propaganda in your comment history. Might be worth doing some reflection.

Plenty of "pro-palestinians" around who condemn hamas and the rest of the resistance groups or call them terrorists etc.

And now dehumanisation wow. For a third time I have to ask have you considered following your leader?

[–] gualudengren@lemmy.ml 14 points 5 days ago (6 children)

You. Insufferable Hitlerite Reddit dorks I spelled it out pretty clearly last comment are you illiterate on top of everything else? (Rhetorical question answer is obviously yes)
