Hello Joe.

Indeed. Why deny others what they find indispensaBle for themself? That is hypocrisy.

Exactly. The US policy of denying Korea, Iran and some others nuclear
weapons has zero credibility. It is like a chain smoking parent trying to
keep their kids from smoking by telling them how bad it is.
