Here is a radical idea, let the Iranians have a nuclear bomb! Now wait for it, but make sure all of their neighbors have them also. Israel already has them, Pakistan and India also, Russia, not a problem.
My Indian friend has told me that major warfare between the Pakistan and India have been greatly reduced after they both got nuclear weapons. Guess what, neither one now wants any disputes to escalate to the point where they would have to use them. But they both feel safer.
How’s that for reverse logic.
Sounds a lot like MAD, Mutual Assured Destruction. The same thing that prevented the U.S. and Russia from wiping each other out.
