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.

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

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.

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.

You forgot all about the 12th imam. Also I want you to think through Ezekiel chapter 38 where turkey Russia and Persia along with Ethiopia and Libya all attack israel. That will not happen if the United States is a military power because we would defend israel.

It is my personal belief that there’s going to be an attack on the United States that’s combined with maybe China and an Iranian backpack nuke or a missile or two from a freighter. Either way, the United States has to be taken out as a military power before Ezekiel chapter 38 goes into effect.

All of Trump’s blustering may bring about a preemptive strike by another Nation because they are going to feel that he is unstable and they’re going to strike first before they get struck.

It’s one thing to agree with a lot of the rhetoric but everybody else in the world has a possibility of not thinking that it is just rhetoric.

“They aren’t suicidal.”

Then explain suicide vests, please.
