Nope....you need a wider strategy, China and Russia will not risk their necks for us.....they will use this opportunity to exploit us further. We need a strategy that lays out what is our plan....well, what is our plan? Is it to make nukes? Well then, make the damn thing....stop playing around. You're already being attacked and sanctioned. If it's not nukes then what is it? Is it to be a nuclear threshold state? Well, you have enough enriched uranium....and the know how, now what? Can we stop enriching? What is the strategy to come out from these crushing sanctions? See.....they don't have a good answer.....because the people in charge haven't planned out the chess game 10 moves down the road. But, that's their job! We have no money, no air force, no bargaining chip, except enrichment.....well, they just bombed the crap out of that chip. So, what's next?
Look at my other post.....there are only 2 roads to take, but if you take it, you have to be willing to go all in.....if not they will sense the weakness.
First road is to make the bomb.......but it may not be enough, you need to make deliverable....but nevertheless, this is the first road. After that....the sanctions stay but you can at least create deterrence
Second road, know your limits and acknowledge they chess-mated you, and now you need to play nice and give up your toys and come back into the fold....just like the turncoat Arabs. But at least you'll sell your oil, get some money, repair your economy....with that you buy an air force and modernize your defenses.
If there is an option three....I don't know it. But I'm guessing they're not ready to choose either of the first two choices either....so we're right back at the start....no plan.
