So by comparing Iran and North Korea, like you just did, would constitute a non-sequitur?
LOL. This the exact quote:
Assume Iran succeeds. Would the Iranians like to live as the North Koreans do?
There is no comparison here, but a simple question of which
choice would Iran make? In other words, are the Iranians willing to pay any price to obtain a nuclear weapon, for
example (NOT a comparison) like North Korea and even Pakistan chose to do, at a huge economic cost, that affects their standards of living even decades later?
What is for certain is that countries won't just come in an invade you that easily if you have nukes. That means Iran can have sound economic relations with like minded nations as well as sound distribution of wealth, as well as have nukes.
I agree that if Iran decides to obtain a nuclear weapon for defensive purpose, then by all means it should do so, as long as it is willing to pay any costs associated with it, as may need to be shouldered. I am sure there are a lot of "like-minded" nations that would support such a development, as you say, given the close relationships Iran currently enjoys the world over.
============================
In any case, it is clear that most keyboard warriors here will create false claims and arguments, and much else besides, just to avoid answering a simple quesiton.
It does not matter, because we will all know the answer with the initial agreement, once it is made public, or by 60 days after that once the final agreement is reached and announced.
I guess I will need to be patient to get the definitive answer there and not here.
