protecting our borders

Nice try at diversion and evasion....No sale.

You moronic comments above are forever memorialized.

The US being globocop is not a luxury. It’s a matter of survival. If Iran gets nuclear weapons, they will use it on you. Us, too, but you’re the “Great Satan,” and until you are forcibly converted to Islam, and not Suni or Sufi Islam but Khomeinist Shiite Islam, they will want to nuke you...

These are very nice sentiments. What, specifically, are we doing...or what are we even remotely willing to do...militarily to prevent a nuclear Iran?

Do you see such an effort coming from this administration?

[Eleutheria5]

No, I do not, unfortunately. Do not elect him to a second term, because he also won’t deal with the reality of a nuclear Iran, which is basically a done deal. Somebody must. It’s a forlorn hope that Israel will eliminate the threat with one lightning raid, like we did with Iraq and recently in Syria. If they launch a warhead at us, we will destroy Tehran, but that’s hardly Plan A, and I don’t think deterrents work with people who think paradise is a giant f@#$#-fest. A US invasion might be the sole remaining option.

If Iran gets nuclear weapons, they will use it on you. Us, too, but you’re the “Great Satan,” and until you are forcibly converted to Islam bla, bla.

No offense, but your posts are hysterical.

I guess all that would happen as our fleets of nuclear submarines stood by gawking.

[Eleutheria5]

You mean, mutually assured destruction? That worked with Russia, because they at least were rational. To Iran, that sounds like a fair exchange.

[Captain Kirk]

A lot of Brits “wanted” to be the world’s policeman too but they couldn’t afford it “want” it or not. We are the same position.

[dragnet2]

Stop this nonsense.
