I've been asking the same questions, questions that imply that nuclear proliferation cannot be stopped, for a year now, and I still haven't received back a single reply. #reply-18048426

The correct technique to reduce the proliferation of nuclear weapons is to eliminate the need for them. Since nuclear bombs are defensive weapons (their use causes alliances to be formed against the user), the proper way to deal with them is by making sure that small countries do not fear being invaded. #reply-18227022

Saudi Arabia used to be well supported by the US, but we've drifted a bit apart since the WTC attacks. Therefore, with the high level of military expenditures by the country, I'd expect them to be seriously considering nukes as a natural next step. They have to worry about attacks from the US, Iraq, Iran, Israel and God knows who else. #reply-18368268
