Ah yes, because export controls have stopped bad actors in the past.

If we can't stop Iran and North Korea from developing nuclear weapons, thinking that we can stop sale of software is, mildly speaking, delusional.

I also fail to see the relevance to Nuremberg trials, because this is a simple matter of supply and demand. There definitely is demand.

I don't see any nukes in Iran.

Maybe because "we" kept that from happening, idk.

Export controls don't work? Did I miss the news, North Korea bought an MERV tipped intercontinental ballistic missile from the 'free market'? Do they have thermonuclear warheads?

I am not convinced if we way we treated Iran is justified, but thats a different suvject. And after Ukraine, noone will. Ever give up nukes
