Estimates vary but I have heard a figure of over 30,000 protestors murdered in Iran in the last month. And these are all innocent protesters, not Hamas terrorists! Are you ok with that?

I’m not sure I can explain it more simpler than that!

I disagree, the intent of everyone with nuclear weapons must be assumed to be that they will use them if threatened with overthrow.

Putin's Russia, Iran, N Korea, Israel or the USA.
The trigger never has been that the country had to be under threat of total destruction.
The threat has always been the button will be pressed if whatever regime controls the weapons believes it is facing destruction/end.

Believing the "threat" is less than that is simply avoiding facing reality.
