Do the same in Haiti while the boys are out having fun.
Fortunately, the boys in Haiti aren’t close to having nukes.

They don’t have a lot of oil either, nor did they have the bad form to overthrow a USian sponsored regime. All the Cubans did is overthrow a USian sponsored regime, and the US is still fighting that war, more than 60 years later.

Haiti and Cuba are two different countries on two different islands in the same sea. They also speak two different languages. ![]()

So far the democracies that have the bomb have not used them. That is getting riskier as Russia, China, Pakistan and NK have them.
We are not talking anything else just nukes in this regard.
But SK is an family squabble. It is also democratically getting resolved.
SA and Iran have to compete. Who runs SA or Iran later could be very bad news. Time to nip Iran’s program in the bud.
The US used a nuke twice, in 1945. I remember, some years ago, a second rate actor, in the US, claiming that a nuclear war was “winnable”.

Except for the US, you mean. Meanwhile, the dictatorships which have the bomb have not used it ever,
So:
Democracies: 2
Dictatorships: 0
Correct
Mea culpa
My train of thought let the WW2 use slip by.
Frd can be accused of being a dictator in his 4th term with Truman then following through.
The Democratic party nearly wiped out the GOP.
Ike was more a Democrat who ran as a Republican to salvage that party.
Do you want to leave it to Iran whether there is a nuclear war? Or SA?

Officials have told commanders of Iran-backed militias to avoid provocative actions that could escalate regional tensions.
Commanders have also been instructed to maintain defensive positions while avoiding any actions that could be interpreted as aggressive by US forces or regional allies…
“Forces and allies in the region have been instructed to act with caution as [the regime] feels an existential threat with Trump’s return,” one senior Iranian official told The Telegraph from Tehran.
“In Iraq and Yemen, forces have been told not to target any American assets, and if they do, they are explicitly warned against using Iranian weapons,” the official added. “They have been told to keep defensive positions for a while and to avoid any actions that might provoke the Americans.”
