In 2003, Libya's long-running nuclear program, active since the 80's, was decommisioned by Gaddafi as part of Libya's disarmament program to normalize relations with the US. What would happen if Gaddafi had another streak of irrationality and didn't choose to disarm. The program's research was accelerating at the time of its decommision. Do you think it would have been enough to create a nuclear bomb before the civil war? And would Gaddafi be bugfuck crazy enough to nuke Benghazi when it was the center of rebellion? And if he was, then what would the effects of it be?
