Why did JFK not want Israel to have nuclear weapons?
>>18436885Probably because Israel was (and still is) in a region surrounded by violent retards and he was afraid said nukes would fall into the wrong hands (some would argue that they still fell into the wrong hands but that's besides the point)
>>18436885He understood that Israelis literally would destroy the world with them if they ever stopped reciting unconditional American support
>>18436885America never wants to see nuclear weapons spread to other countries, preventing that is one of its foreign policy goals
>>18436885what's the benefit for the US if another country gets nukes? If it's an enemy it means you can't invade them and if it's an ally it means they don't have to listen to you nearly as much
>>18436891>Israel was (and still is) in a region surrounded by violent retardsIsrael is the violent retard though. That and the US was the staye that invaded it multiple times. Also the whole supporting jihadi's to overthrow regimes thing tbey are still doing.
>>18436885He didn't want a nuclear arms race in the middle east. It's bad enough Pakistan has them now.
