Makes you think, don't it?
I'm not knocking Ted Cruz, but he has said this, I think Rubio has, probably a number of others. The thing is, is we don't know for sure, we don't know Iran is going to nuke other countries if they get nukes.
Being Sunni is probably not enough, it is the Wahhabists as we always hear.
Maybe Pakistan is not Wahhabi. Anyway, the Saudis can use Pakistan’s nukes if they are threatened, there seems to be an agreement.
In that vein, no, the ruling government in Riyadh, does not seem to want to aim nukes at us or Israel;
So, it is a judgement call but I think as someone said here, ISIS Wahhabism is the more immediate threat at the least.
#28. Re knowing whether Iran will nuke other countries (if they get nukes).
Iran WILL nuke Israel when it feels that:
1. Their air defense systems (mainly modern Soviet/Russian ones) are enough to stop any Israeli aerial counterattack (i.e. by planes and even some missiles).
2. They have the full support of Putin to do so (Putin wants to dominate by intimidation much of the Baltic and Eastern Europe, as well as having a SIGNIFICANT and probably nuclear military presence in the Middle East, using Syria as its base of operations and possibly even northern Iran).
3. The US, under President Clinton, WILL NOT PROTECT ISRAEL despite all the nice words the Democrats put out, esp. with a traitor and fool like John Kerry as Secretary of State, Ashton Carter as Secy of Defense, many of the present leaders of the Disjointed Chiefs of Staff. They will send condolence cards to the survivors in Israel.
4. Our nuclear counterforces are deteriorating and Carter says they will improve by the year 2030. That’s not very reassuring.
5. Do you think a Clinton presidency and possibly Democratic Senate will want to go after Iran? After all, they’ve done their best to make sure the US CANNOT do anything significant short of all-out war.
6. And the winner in the Pacific is Red China who is beating the crap out of us in terms of sheer equipment dominance (boats, missiles, planes, and men) as well as winning the INTIMIDATION GAME without us doing much about it. Again, Secy of the Queen’s Navy Mabus is significantly to blame for this. Put women on submarines but keep us at a 200 ship Navy in a 600 ship need world. I miss former SecNav John Lehman. He had guts and built up our Navy to the strongest it had been in decades (thanks to Carter and his cowards).
7. ISIS is a definite threat to the US but Iran has ICBM’s that can take out all of Europe, the Middle East, parts of Asia, and possibly even reach the US (or at least our fleets at sea - One Nuke blast can sink a fleet).
8. Iran is run by the most diabolical, pathological, and religiously fanatic bunch of Psychopaths presently in a position of strength IN THE WORLD. Putin is no fool. Neither are the Red Chinese.
Religious psychopaths are the most dangerous because they believe in the coming Armageddon and look forward to it.
The Russians, Red Chinese and even ISIS want to have something to rule over, not just an ash heap of cities.
Only the No. Koreans are as pathologically insane as the Mad Mullahs of Iran, and we have let them get away with their nuclear build up to. Thanks Clintons and Obama.
The future does not look very good for the Western World unless we get a leader who will stand up and say, “NO MORE. We’re not going to take this crap, and then do something about it, hopefully short of all-out war, but if necessary, to level Iran’s key nuclear and military facilities into soccer fields.
