Nukes are an inevitability following sanctions. North Korea was sanctioned to hell and back by major international players before they developed nukes... At that point, they really might as well go all the way. The same is true for Iran, and the same will be true for any upcoming player with nukes.
The weaponization of sanctions for political gain rather than to act as a counterbalance against actual world-ending threats will be the death of us.
