    I feel like, and this isn’t in dreadful anticipation of anything in particular or anything, but like the UN General Assembly should get together and vote on a resolution saying the nuking countries is bad and that any country, no matter who they are, that nukes another country without being existentially threatened themselves first, is a rogue nation and that if it ever happened, the entire rest of the world would do something about it.

      If the UN ever enforces a resolution, it should be this one. This war has not changed my mind anout Iran having nukes, but it has become crystal clear that the US should NOT have nukes.

        It like saying to a judge you should put a person in jail after conviction. A judge like the UN has no executive power

      This is already covered by ICJ:

      the threat or use of nuclear weapons would generally be contrary to the rules of international law applicable in armed conflict, and in particular the principles and rules of humanitarian law; However, in view of the current state of international law, and of the elements of fact at its disposal, the Court cannot conclude definitively whether the threat or use of nuclear weapons would be lawful or unlawful in an extreme circumstance of self-defence, in which the very survival of a State would be at stake;
