Not having WMDs isn't the same as not trying to make WMDs. If a terrorist (or radical government) is trying to make a WMD, do you wait until they finish making it to try to stop them from making it? That makes no sense. Once they've made it, they can use it. That possibility should be avoided.

Weapons grade and able to be used in a weapon are separate but overlapping ideas. I used weapons grade colloquially because I thought it was easy to understand, but unfortunately, it is also possible for a "bad actor" to be deliberately obtuse.


I'll stop using it as a reason when they stop saying it. Official government representatives chanting death to another country will always be a problem for me.

I never said NATO allies weren't there. The only revisionist history is you trying to say that I said things that I didn't say.

I think you are overlooking a few things as far as why they might not be there. NATO is already in a standoff with Russia over Ukraine and wants to avoid a direct confrontation with Russia. Russia supports Iran. Here's a video on NATO preparing for a potential war with Russia:

There's also the they don't trust our military leadership to not screw things up potential angle, which I can also understand.

But, having said all that, you still can't just let Iran have that HEU. And we're the ones with the target on our backs. They don't chant death to NATO.
