Reasons for Nuclear Capabilities Were Never Rational - Were Always Reactionary

Ask yourself: who started the nuclear arms race; and when? Now ask: who will end it? Is there any understanding why the Aryan mentality of World War Two of world domination and the current Iranian Islamic Regime's intent to use nuclear domination to force Israel into submission to Islamic causes in seeking elimination of Israel altogether? How does that frame of thinking translate to the attempts in dailing down the rhetoric of giving the Iranian Islamic Regime's any reason to continue in making nuclear weapons grade fissile or fusion material? It's not quite Pavlovian; or is it?
