Containment succeeded with a Soviet Empire with 10,000 nuclear weapons,

The Soviets weren't apocalyptic nutjobs, like both the religious and "Secular" leaders of Iran. The Russians love and protect their children. The Shiite nutters send theirs out to blow themselves up.. just so they kill a Jew or other Infidel.

but is apparently inadequate for dealing with an Iran that has no atom bombs, only the potential to build one.

So say the leaders of the same organizations that failed to predict or prevent a couple of dozen guys from killing nearly 3,000 people right here in the U.S.A.

Who wants that war? Netanyahu, his government,

IOW, the people likely to be the targets of any Iranian nukes or bioweapons.

Who does not want a war?

The White House, the Pentagon, the Joint Chiefs, the intelligence community, the antiwar left and Old Right – and millions of Americans who believe a U.S. war on Iran could ignite a sectarian and regional war that could prove catastrophic for the Middle East, the world economy and the United States of America.

All the folks who are out of range.. for now. Besides, who said anything about a US war on Iran? Just stay out of the way and let the Israelis do what needs doing. They are ones most immediately threatened by an Iranian nuclear weapons capability

Good answers. Zorro is voicing RuPaul’s talking points, obviously. RP’s extremely scary on this subject (and foreign policy in general). Comparing Iran to Russia is ludicrous. But then, he’s so anti-semitic that it blinds him to the realities of Islam.
