It is unethical because the US is the only country to have used the atomic bomb and by far the largest missile threat all over the planet today.

In contrast, Iran, China and Russia do not on a daily basis assassinate civilians with missiles.

If the US had not used the atomic bomb Japan would have been split with the Russians just like Germany. It was arguably, speaking realpolitik, the lesser of two evils.

If the US disarmed and Iran, China and Russia were in charge, do you think the world would be better or worse?

> Iran, China and Russia

Those countries do, however, do a whole bunch of other pretty bad things.

And I definitely do not want them having more power an influence to enact their agenda on other parts of the world.
