A foreign policy strategy that incentivizes nuclear proliferation? Jesus Christ, what do you think American military interventionism over the last 25 years has demonstrated quite clearly? We have been demonstrating to the world, and in particular the Arab world, that without nuclear deterrence you are subject to the whims of American interventionism and capricious regime change based on whichever way the winds (and the propaganda) blow at the moment in DC. Again, and more to the point in this particular situation, there were lots of people out there beating the drums about the dangers of our NATO policy after the fall of the USSR. They were fucking telling us that we were doing would be viewed as an existential threat, was going to spark and get out of control, was going to end up threatening our national security as well as Europe, and potentially bring us to the brink of nuclear war. And here we fucking are. Your answer is "mOaR oF tHe SamE PlEaSe".
