Cuba has NO nukes and are not a threat to the US yet they are being sanctioned, so why not?

Ooooh, this question could piss off both sides.
I like it.
Of course Israel should be forced to come clean on its long standing nuclear program.

This question is neither here nor there. The sanctions against Cuba are based on political justification, going back to policies seeking to contain communism - and prolongated by new lobby groups with their own agendas.
Israel has never officially admitted to holding nuclear weapons, although it is pretty clear they have at least a small number of deployable warheads. Obviously, any US ally is in effect allowed to hold nuclear weapons.
The NPT was also not signed nor ratified by Pakistan and India, yet the US promotes India's nuclear program, and spends billions to fund Pakistan's military complex. Do you think they will be sanctioned as well?
It's a cute question, but it doesn't address the actual reality of the situation.

Nukes are costly to offer and safeguard as properly as being ineffective militarily. the fee of their nuclear deterrent is of the same order with the aid of fact the fee of keeping all their regular forces blended. the financial degradation of the U. S. will quickly pass away Israel in the same subject to that of Cuba following the fall down of the Soviet Union. the U. S. will in simple terms be unable to have the money for to maintain the drain of investment Israel's militia extravagance. Israel will make a huge tutor of permitting inspectors to benefit their centers earlier to disarmament and gown it up as some variety of concession. they only is in simple terms not waiting to have the money for to divert investment from their regular forces.

Best thing Israel could do is just use their nukes up now in the process of supressing all middle eastern countries that oppose their existence. Then they solve the problem of having to deal with their hateful neighbors and no longer have to deal with all the whiners who complain about them having nukes. It's the proverbial two birds with one stone solution.

Has Israel refused to allow IAEA inspectors to carry out any inspections. And why should they carry any inspections? Israel has not refuted their nuclear capability and they are not a rogue state.

Israel didn't send thousands to the firing squad. cuba is a threat to the US in the form of advocating communism to central and south American countries. The only people Israel is a threat to are people who want to destroy them.

I'm sure the US knows how many and where their nukes are and I'm sure we don't care. Cuba, you've got to be kidding me! Read up first before you begin about that military led country.

The IAEA has never ask Israel to inspect their nuclear program.
So that means Israel has never turned them down.
So I guess thats why there are no sanctions.
Good try though !!!!!!!
