I support full global nuclear disarmament but the current “non-proliferation” regime was designed to give imperialist powers (and their terrorist offspring like Israel) a near monopoly on nuclear weapons while most of the world is left defenseless against their threats.
It’s precisely because Iraq and Iran did not have nuclear weapons that they have been constantly subjected to attacks and threats from the US. It’s a lesson North Korea learned well.
And when Gaddafi gave up whatever weapons research he had going on (to Tony Blair) it did not assure security but rather opened the way to the Obama-led regime change war that ended with his murder and the destruction of Libya as a state.
So far from halting proliferation, we can conclude that relentless American aggression, sometimes even under the banner of stopping proliferation, gives countries targeted by the US empire and it’s vassals every incentive to pursue nuclear weapons.
