It terribly constrains US actions - both militarily and diplomatically. Has it resulted in levelled, irradiated US or Western cities? And what does that, coupled with the example of Iran and Iraq, show non-nuclear armed adversarial powers? I'd say it's "get nukes as soon as you can, your regime's survival depends on it".

Anyway who's talking about C-17s full of pallets of cash here? And how do I get ahold of one? (Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know - JPCOA/sanctions lifting).
