I would choose american socialism over an Iranian ICBM and nuclear warhead in San Deigo. Socialism is subject to being overturned, Death is not.
Iran doesn’t have anything that can even travel over 1300 miles. They have nothing that can hit the continental US.
Socialism is right here already and will destroy our country financially and philosophically which would weaken our respect from other countries and promote more terrorism and deaths. It would bring the violence back to our shores to include some of the suitcase bombs that can act a lot like the big guys you fear. Action/reaction.
