45 years is hardly instant.
When a monster tells you what it is going to do... you should believe them.
Please do explain where in that Iranian foreign diplomacy is anything we should respect? Their desire to mass murder entire nations? Their constant bombing of civilians when only their military and leaders are being attacked? Their zeal to create and use weapons that can murder millions in a single moment? Please share your glorious wisdom with us and explain which parts are those that we need to respect.
Russia never really trusted the Mullahs in Iran. Russia has had worse Muslim problems than us and has been fighting them for longer than us.
This is an unfortunate and unforeseen consequence of the Ukraine conflict where Russia out of necessity (Iran backfilled a Russian material shortage with drones, missiles, artillery shells, mortar rounds) made deals with Iran.
We all but drove them together.
Same with China! Russia and China have a historic contentious relationship but we pose a threat to both of them and especially after 2022 with our sanctions more or less drove Russia into China’s court. Go to Russia today, and it’s China that is filling the void left by western business leaving, it’s China that is buying their gas (at a discount rate)... The only real winner here is China.
The uranium Iran has enriched is in the form of Uranium Hexaflouride gas. While breathing highly enriched hexafouride gas is a very bad thing, burning it doesn't create fission byproducts and the gas would disperse into the atmosphere. It should be a very localized and short term event, not an environmental disaster.
“...long as this aggression doesn’t stop, there’s no place for talk of dialogue”
So then they run to the Europeans and say lets talk, EU says OK, they go to Geneva, have a good lunch, and EU says, talk to the US. Have a nice day.
Yes,really, wouldn’t have said it otherwise. Nothing iran has done to date has shown they’re serious. In that vein, at least during the Obama & Biden years we’ve havent been either. Do I disrespect their efforts? Yes, with contempt. Democrats are ridiculous. Iran isn’t a prosper nation.
You just knew they’d ghost. 🙄
Why? I believe what Iran says. Is that so hard? If someone he kills your people, attacked your interest whenever possible, calls you the Great Satan who must be destroyed, and says they will build a nuke, you should take them at their word. Or do you think we should wait and see if there are serious?
Are you saying Russia has held off making devastating nuke attacks? Because they cannot seem to pull off a basic air and ground attack.
If Russia could attack they would. They can’t so they haven’t.
The oligarchs had no interest in westernizing and neither did Putin. The plunder there way across Russia and when they ran out of targets they looked outward. A Rus Viking will always need plunder and conquest. Even if it little bites.
And then they marched their army with bells and whistles on their toes after they publicly announced their intentions.
What did Israel do that was sudden. They have been choking off Iran for over two years. Taking out its proxies and then its homeland defenses. Maybe it surprised you or perhaps you just have no recollection of it. Trump has said no Mike for Iran. Will it be suddenly attacking when he drops the GBU-57?
Recheck with your smart people.
“Are you saying Russia has held off making devastating nuke attacks?”
Yeah but their hyper sonic missiles sure made the west pause and it muted talk of western peacekeepers. They have a much bigger arsenal than they are using.
“What did Israel do that was sudden. They have been choking off Iran for over two years.”
Well they’ve been killing off organizations they *claim* were proxies. Does the Irish collecting money for the IRA in American bars make the US a proxy of the IRA?
He ain’t giving up his nuke. Does he have one one? Dunno, but he’s close to or has weapons-grade material.
Gonna have to kill him and probably some successors.
Trump has a choice between US or Israeli intel. He’s talking to Bibi.
Just my 2 cents American.
The other day I heard audio from 30 years ago of Bibi saying Iran was weeks away from a nuke.
“We are either doing something, or we are not. ‘Talking about’ is a subset of ‘not’.”
I see your part of the group talking up Russia. Mighty Russia. Always on the verge of unleashing unknown power and weapons. Just tremble and fear and submit to Putin’s desires.
I'm just curious about how you know what's going on just because you aren't being shown anything because it's above your paygrade?
“We are either doing something, or we are not. ‘Talking about’ is a subset of ‘not’.”
I’m just curious about how you know what’s going on just because you aren’t being shown anything because it’s above your paygrade?
I refuse to bite. Have a nice day.
So you really don’t know anything. Check.
Haven’t you , yet, considered the possibility that large elements of the US armed forces may very well be anti Israel and sympathize with the so called Palestinians and be at best reluctant to fight Iran and at worst segments could defect?
