(CNAS = Center for a New American Security)
One might well wonder if the CNAS study is a "trial balloon" from the Biden Administration to begin preparing the nation and world psychologically for the advent of Iran's "Islamic bomb."
One might also wonder if the CNAS study is an attempt to justify consequent U.S. retreat from the Middle East, not as another humiliating defeat, but as a prudent and wise reprioritization of resources to meet the threat from China.
President Biden is defunding nuclear weapons critical to U.S. national security, such as the SLCM-N and B-83. He is also still seriously considering abolition of U.S. intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), and is doing nothing to accelerate desperately needed modernization of the U.S. nuclear deterrent -- despite increasing nuclear threats from Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran.
If America, the most benign and humane civilization that has ever existed in history, is capable of using nuclear weapons, what can be expected from the evil empires that are Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran?
At minimum, a nuclear Iran will be even more aggressive supporting terrorism against moderate Arab states, Israel, and the U.S.. Iran might well also arm its proxies -- many of which are officially designated as Foreign Terrorist Organizations -- with weapons of mass destruction, while relying on anonymity and its nuclear deterrent to escape retaliation.
Unlike North Korea, whose overt pursuit of nuclear weapons is used for atomic diplomacy and blackmail, Iran's nuclear weapons program is clandestine and may remain covertly secret -- because Iran plans actually to use its "Islamic bomb."
Expect the Center for a New American Security to weave more fig leaves rationalizing Biden Administration blunders and irresponsible policy as a species of wisdom. Coming soon, U.S. nuclear inferiority to Russia and China will be called an "acceptable risk."
The Center for a New American Security (CNAS), comprising largely former, mostly Democrat administration foreign policy and defense officials, in a new study — "Risk and Responsibility: Managing Future Iranian Weapons of Mass Destruction Threats" — tries to sell the notion that Iran armed with nuclear, biological and chemical offensive weapons will be an acceptable risk. CNAS is a source of staff and "expertise" to the Biden Administration. Unfortunately, their idea is preposterous.

Looks like we’ll have to depend on Israel to take their facilities out.
Hasn’t Israel been saying for decades, that a nuclear armed Iran is an existential threat, and will never be allowed? I am sure, if Israel says it will take action, to prevent it, you can take them seriously. They will NOT tolerate it.
That’s not what JF’nK sez.
In the immoral words of HeelsUp Harris: “Nuclear means real tiny, really, really itty bitty.”

Oh...... Good
🙄🙄🙄😨😨😨😱😱😱
I think that Israel will bomb the heck out of Iran when the time comes.
(get rid of American ICBM’s - paraphrase of article - being considered)
IIRC, in the original “Left Behind” movie, the Antichrist announces that nuclear weapons are banned, to, you know, make the world safer. I’ll have to watch it again; I think I know where it is. Was trying to find a youtube clip but not successful yet.
We can see Ezekiel 38 coming. Hang in there.
No tacos? How about cheeseburgers? Y’all got those over there? :)
It seems so. May God help them.
1981...2007...AGAIN?!

OK, can I get you to pay on my first visit?
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Not Vikings. 😀😂 There is another place, called the Swiss Deli. Good European food.
OK I’m hungry already!!!
Vikings buffet must be expensive! 🏧🏧💵💸🤑
Israel cannot depend on the current Administration or many other Western nations for help against Iran. The only thing it can be sure of is continued investigation and condemnation by the inappropriately named United Nations Human Rights Commission. At this point, Israel must align with the Abraham Accord countries, and those with whom it shares information secretly and who are threatened by the radical regime in Tehran, to eliminate the Iranian threat. The time is growing short.
Biden and his handlers can’t even fathom what to do about high gasoline prices as well as the rest of the 20% inflated goods. They think some ‘center’ they put up to bleat about nuclear Iran this and that makes any sense? Or that they could/would do anything about it in the first place?
It always boiled down to them anyway. Ever since the US gave them that couple hundred pounds of fissile nuclear material in the first place.
