Iran has been weeks away from a nuke for decades. What evidence is there that they were any closer this time, or that this war was necessary to delay or block their progress?
replyThe war is for Israel, sorry I should say Greater Israel.
replyI vaguely remember a similar situation last year, where Trump said, Irans nuclear program is now destroyed for years to come.
replyYep, the Iran chicken hawks can't keep their stories straight.
replyTrump's chicken hawk fanboys:
- Iran is weeks away from nukes, but our bombing runs last year were so successful they're now years away. But now they're weeks away again, got to attack!
- We're not the world's police, but Iran killed 30k of their own citizens, we need to help them and be the world's police!
- The Iranians were going to attack US bases because of an Israeli attack, so to prevent those attacks we attacked first. Thus giving them no reason to bomb our bases. Oh god, they're bombing our bases! The fiends!
If Iran had nuclear weapons we would not be bombing them now and the world would be a more peaceful place. I certainly trust Iran with nuclear weapons a lot more than I trust Israel with them. We need Iran to keep Israel in check.
replyI'm sorry but this is a braindead take. Trump is exactly a short-sighted .. well not a bean counter since I doubt his ability to count. But short sighted for sure.
replyThinking an Iranian nuke is threatening a US city is probably a Fox news talking point, so dogshit by definition.

replyExactly. The alternative was to let Iran (while under a suicidal theocratic regime) get nukes? Imagine if Dubai was struck by nukes instead of drones.
replyWe had a nuclear deal with them, which was ripped up by the same man currently in charge of the US.
replyThe alternative was not bombing them in the middle of negotiations.
