[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I still don't understand why Republicans want this war with Iran. There was a perfectly good deal under Obama that constrained Iran's nuclear program and kept the Strait of Hormuz open for everyone. Every war plan and gaming exercise started with the assumption that Iran would seize control of Hormuz and take control of 20 percent of the world's oil and gas. That's rudimentary geopolitics. So why start a war at all when the US already had everything they wanted under Obama - free passage and no nukes for Iran. And now there is zero change Iran is going to give up control of Hormuz and abstain from pursuing nuclear weapons.

So what was the point? The US - and the world - is the huge strategic loser here. Are Republicans just dumbasses? Are Republicans all servile to Israel, which wants chaos in the Middle East? For America's interests, this may be the dumbest war in modern history.  [/quote]

That you actually think Iran wasn't well on its way to developing nuclear weapons - regardless of any "perfectly good deal under Obama" - just shows how naive you are.  [/quote]

Why the hell should Americans care if Iran has a nuclear program? They're not going to launch missiles at Des Moines. And Republicans are perfectly fine with North Korea and Pakistan having nuclear weapons - and importantly the missiles - that can actually do some damage. The Obama agreement would have delayed Iran's capabilities for decades. What Republicans have done has ensured Iran will control the Strait of Hormuz and fast-track their nuclear program. It is the naivete and delusions of Republicans that have made everything much more dangerous. And again, we did this at Israel's behest. Maybe Republicans should spend a minute thinking about America's best interests.  [/quote]

The utter stupidity of this argument.

Are you going to tell us why Israel can have 100s and Iran can’t development their own?

Not that Iran was doing it under the agreement that a competent administration put together that was torn up by pedo.[/quote]

DP.

I will.

1. One country is overtly committed to the destruction of the US. The other is not.

2. Once a country has nukes, it is very difficult to take them away (for reasons that are too obvious to mention). By comparison, it’s much more feasible to prevent a country from acquiring nuclear capability in the first place.[/quote]

DP. No Israel is a genocidal terrorist state. The world must unite and force Israel to give up its nuclear weapons.

Everything the US and Israel are demanding of Iran must be applied to Israel.[/quote]
