Rania Khalek/BreakThrough News 📺 Iran’s Anti-Imperialism: Where It Comes From, Why It’s Not Going Away, w/ Prof. Nina Farnia

Why is Iran under constant US attack? Is it really about women’s rights and democracy? Or is it because Iran, since its revolution, has been a staunch supporter both ideologically and materially, of resistance to US imperialism across the Middle East? To discuss this and more, Rania Khalek was joined by Nina Farnia, Assistant Professor of Law at Albany Law School, a longtime activist and a scholar of Critical Race Theory, with a focus on US imperialism and its impact on domestic law.

MAD is only a detergent if everyone has Nuclear bombs.

If the US and west get to keep their bombs, despite being the US being the only country to have ever used one, then everyone should be able to have nuclear bombs.

The thing is, the US and west don't actually want to prevent nuclear weapons from being used, they specifically want to prevent them being used against them and their allies, while maintaining the threat of using them against their enemies.
