Baloney… Iran is not going to launch nukes. They want them for the same reason other despotic places do. It protects you from a US invasion. They know Iraq would not have been invaded if they had a bomb. They aren’t suicidal.

[DesertRhino]

The last thing we need is a new Middle East war.

[DesertRhino]

But what about WMDs? Dominos? A big row of dominos!! Remember the Maine! Gulf of Tonkin!

[Delta 21]

Trump will have peace in the middle east if he has to bomb every mud hut over there.

[desertsolitaire]

I’m not positive that suicidal elements DONT occupy any key command positions in Iran.

[DesertRhino]

Yeah I know… 13th imam, swinging his golden sword, yadda yadda. If they really believed that starting the war would bring in the 13th imam, then what’s wrong with today?

They are more than happy for thousands of men to die on their behalf. But I see no sign that the leader ship themselves are quite so eager to die. It’s all bullshit.

[DesertRhino]

We’ve been screwing around in Iraq with our British inspired great game bullshit since 1953. Nothing has improved. Time for us to just step away. We let the Saudis and Israelis have far too much input into our foreign policy far too much.

[Trumpisourlastchance]

I didn’t vote for that. That will end the GOP’s power.

[forYourChildrenVote4Bush]

The Saudis and many middle eastern countries don’t want Iran to go nuclear

Iran is a disruption currently without nuclear weapons, imagine them with nuclear weapons

Anyone who thinks it’s a good idea for Iran to have nuclear weapons isn’t thinking right

There will be a nuclear arms race in the middle east if that happens. If that happens expect a nuclear war

Will affect everyone

“””If they don’t make a deal, there will be bombing,” Trump said in a telephone interview with NBC. “But there’s a chance that if they don’t make a deal, that I will do secondary tariffs on them like I did four years ago.””

My question is... why is anyone believing what NBC (Nothing But Caca) is saying that Trump said. And a telephone call? Puhleeze! NBC creating controversy over an unproven, as yet, phone call? Trump is smarter than that, one would think. I refuse to believe that he made threats of “bombings” and said it to leftist media on a “phone call”.

A lot of gullible people would believe NBC on ‘any’ issue. I, thankfully, am not one of them. If I see proof of this on Newsmax, or another NON-leftist source, then I might believe it. Until then, no way.

Iran is not going to launch nukes.

One might have made the same argument had the German regime had nuclear weapons in WWII and one would have been just as wrong.

Giving the benefit of the doubt, it is very naive to assume this world is not prone to diabolical evil and specifically Islamic Iran.

[af_vet_1981]

we should preemptively nuke Iran.

False conclusion; the same can be accomplished with smart non-nuclear bombs although the Iranian friendly media make call it a nuke Iran campaign.

That’s certainly a part of it. Back in 2002 that idiot George W. Bush talked about an Axis of Evil: Iraq, Iran, and North Korea.

Then Bush invaded the first country on the list. Its leader, Saddam Hussein, was deposed and executed.

The other two countries on the list drew the appropriate conclusions.

Nazi Germany never got the bomb, of course. But they did have stockpiles of military-grade poison gas. But Hitler forbade its use. The consensus is that the Germans were afraid of a devastating poison gas retaliation by the Allies.

This comparison is, I think, good but not perfect. Hitler was a fantatic, but not a religious fanatic.

[Larry Lucido]

Thanks. I’ll keep that in mind.

Love that scene, though!

[marron]

Iran seems confident that their nuclear facilities are far enough underground that they can weather an attack.

[central_va]

I love ankle biters second guessing and snapping at Trump’s heels.

[Kentfromohio]

More wars from the guy who promised no more wars.

Now we are at war with

- Ukraine
- Yemen
- Iran

We could have gotten failed unaffordable wars from Biden.

[Kentfromohio]

According to our CIA Iran is not pursuing nukes. That is the most recent assessment. So, the only reason for bombing Iran is that Trump now works for Netanyahu.

I don’t want to live in a bankrupt country. You don’t always get what you want.
