Let us not kid ourselves. The choice is ISIS or Assad with nukes like Iran with Russia. Coming to think of it, Saddam with nukes or IsIS idiots, I’d rather neutralize the interconinental ballistic threat.
Let us not kid ourselves. The choice has always been made by Socialist DemoRats.
Iran, under the Shah, would never have pursued nuclear warheads or ballistic missiles aimed at the US, but Socialist DemoRats fixed that.
Saddam was pursuing both, and Bush wanted to expose it and put an end to it, but Socialist DemoRats fixed that.
Several US Presidents negotiated and forced Libya's Qaddafi to renounce, turn over and cooperate on all nuclear disarmament plus stabilize Libya, but Obama and Socialist DemoRats fixed that.
Assad was at least not murdering Christians and Kurds, but Obama and Socialist DemoRats fixed that.
There is nothing that Socialist DemoRats have not turned into a disaster in the past 70 years. It's time we stopped supporting them, or nothing will ever get better including strategic thermonuclear threat.
