    And if Iran and Saudi Arabia get nukes, then Turkey will get nukes. And if Turkey gets nukes, then unless there is an EU army, Greece will want to get nukes.

      Pretty sure there are NATO nukes sitting in Turkey already… it’s like the whole reason everyone pretends they aren’t a circus run by a toddler pounding the table to print more money as economic policy.

      Ukraine is the only country to every voluntarily disarm their nuclear arsenal. Now invaded by Russia. Turkey gets to wave their dicks around and make demands at the big boy table despite being a complete joke of a country. I honestly can’t blame countries wanting to develope or obtain nuclear weapons anymore…

          Fun fact: South Africa didn’t give up nukes based on some moral objection. They did it because the apartheid government was disbanding, and they didn’t want people of melanin to have nukes. Racism for the win?

        Those are US controlled nukes. And the US doesnt have the best relation with Turkey atm. They are there now, gone tomorrow. Turkey cant rely on american nukes. If other regional powers have nukes, they need to have nukes. And if Turkey has nukes, then Greece needs to have nukes for selfprotection.

        Turkey gets to wave their dicks around and make demands at the big boy table despite being a complete joke of a country.

        They have the 2nd biggest military in NATO, after the US, an immensely important geographical location and they are a regional power(along with Iran and Saudi Arabia).

        Not completely. Especially in the case of middle eastern countries, a capital strike would ensure the dissolution of the state.

      Turkey doesn’t need nukes because it’s part of the strongest defensive alliance in the history of mankind. That’s enough deterrent for anyone who isn’t in that alliance.
