 In addition, the reason the US has a "special relationship" with Israel and always defends Israel no matter what is not because the US is entirely run by Jews (although there are a lot of them with a lot of power), but because Israel and the US made a secret deal --- the US convinced Israel not to develop nukes, and in exchange the US would always defend them.

I don't have any security clearance or any special knowledge. This is pure hypothesis. 
 no mate that was Russia that convinced Ukraine to give up their nukes ( which Ukraine already had ) and Russia in exchange promised to protect Ukraine

we know how well that went

Israel would never agree to anything that stupid

and as a Jew i can assure you we absolutely run US from top to bottom  
 Yes it happened with Ukraine too.  I hypothesize that a lot of such deals were made with the aim of stopping nuclear proliferation.   The theory could extend to the idea that Russia has a deal with Iran to not build nukes, in exchange for Russia defending Iran (The US couldn't do that with Iran since Israel and Iran are at odds and the US couldn't promise defense to both sides.... well they could in secret like the UK always did I guess). 
 here is the hole in your theory - it was Jews who invented the nuclear weapons and it was Jews who used them against Japan

Jews can convince idiots to give up the nukes but Jews would never give them up themselves because we are all about that genocide 

it is possible that Israel didn't have nukes when they "leaked" that they did, but i don't believe Jews would ever voluntarily give up on the idea of mass murder

without mass murdering women and children who are even we ?  it is what defines us 
 the Jewish identity has 3 parts: 

1 - Usury
2 - Genocide
3 - Playing the Victim

watch the movie Oppenheimer - it is actually fairly decent 
 i mean you really think a race of evil goblins that was waging a war on humanity for thousands of years finally invented the ultimate weapon in 1945 test-used it on Japanese who had nothing against the Jews, but then decided to just give it away to gentiles whom Jews hate and leave none for themselves and 80 years later still not have these weapons while actively waging war against the entire middle east ...

i take back what i said about this being your first theory that makes sense.

on second thought it makes no sense. 
 i know how you take pride in being a contrarian and always coming up with the most absurd takes on every subject but ...

maybe you're taking this too far LOL. 
 Well the theory goes that Israel developed nukes and keeps it a secret because the US will stop all military aid as per the international non proliferation agreement.

Either is entirely plausible, which is what Israel wants, whatever the truth is about it. Do we have nukes? You decide. It's scary to enemies, on the one hand they get the deterrent without developing them, on the other they have them but still get US aid. 
 Yes. Either way could be the case as either way puts them in a good position, and the ambiguity makes that position even better.
