But how many nations have that kind of bomb ? And the rogue nations of concern are probably a decade or more from getting technology that powerful.Assuming they didn't get help from one of the major nuclear powers, like Russia.
Iran is working hard to have everything needed to destroy the U.S. with an EMP attack (nuclear bombs and long-range missiles). I don't know that they want to do that, and I don't know how quickly they could make everything they need.
But I'd rather we deal with this before they can do so.
I agree Iran’s desire to get nuclear technology, when they clearly dont need it, is vital. Particularly since even if EMP isnt a major catastrophy we need to worry about on a national scale-and it does at the moment seem like that is the case-there will be other forms of nuclear and elctric and even antimatter weapons that will be, an Iran will want them. However, I am doubtful regarding the notion that Russia would be making sure Iran gets powerful technology that would damage whole nations like this-they werent stupid enough to do something like this that could endanger their own safety in the Cold war so it is doubtful they would try it now. Although I do wish they would stop coddling Iran’s leadership like they do and dont get why theydo it. Perhaps we need a way to encourage a govt/regime change in Russia too, get a leqadership of conservative Christians who would look for stronger ties with us.
It is hard to tell what Iran wants to do-I had always thought Israel was the regime’s target before anyone else. And so if they could choose one nation to assault-and with nukes they would almost certainly get the chance to attack one nation, it would be Israel. I am looking to have faith that God is looking otu for Israel, but this is a matter of life and death for them much more than it is for us. Thankfully, if Iran does become a global threat we will eventualyl have much of the World’s support on our side-even Sunni Arab states would support Israel and our govt doing preemptive strikes on Iran. And China would do an immediate 180 if Iran closed Hormuz and threatened their oil sources.
