Iran Catch-All | IRAN WAR

[gtyellowjacket]

I'd say an Iran loosely allied with the West, in the mode of Turkey, is the best benefit to the future. No reason that can't happen, although Saturday probably made it less likely. If it does, I'd have no problem with Iran developing a non-military nuclear program. It's a huge country with brilliant people. But I'll always agree weapons capabilities should be limited as much as they possibly can be, whether to Iran or any other nation.

I know it's not your main point, but Iran already has a nominally non-military nuclear program, ie they have a civilian nuclear plant. A cynic would say that it's very expensive window dressing for their military nuclear program giving them some cover as to why they're acquiring nuclear material, nuclear scientists and other dual use equipment.

On the other hand, I think they have three reactors at the current plant or maybe two with one more coming online with plans to build more at other locations, at least before the most current attacks. That's really unnecessary for window dressing.

A new world likely without an Iranian half trillion dollar enrichment program to the benefit of the future. Sure sends a pretty strong message against nuclear proliferation

And as long as we can keep nukes out of the hands of Netanyahu we've nothing to worry about.


Oh....wait.

Yes, and I was just saying I'd be fine with them continuing that if we could get real assurances they aren't pursuing weapons. In other words, the 2015 agreement. But your point is a good one.

When i was in school in the 70's there seemed to be many iranian kids in chapel hill. You are right that are good people

Nope. We just don’t tax it like many other states do.

That shows up on your roads…..one doesn’t have to see a “Welcome to South Carolina” sign to know you’re now in the Palmetto State - the condition of the road tells you.

A stronger message would be standing up for countries that gave up weapons they already had.

Typing in all caps will definitely make them listen to him.

 

[chrissteel]

we can do both

we can do both

Unlikely, at least in the next 3.5 years.

AOC howls about impeaching Trump. But president had the authority to bomb Iran. | Opinion

The U.S. bombing three nuclear facilities was strategically the right move and a just action. Iran could not be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon.

This is why your party is in the pits. She is the face of the dem party and she should be silenced and sidelined if you want to be more than a laughing stock.

Says the fool who supports Donald Trump.

And we know because Trump said so, and Trump is always right about everything.


seems like a legitimate source.

…which he didn’t bother to cite.

Typing in all caps will definitely make them listen to him.

But he didn’t end it with, “Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

half of the approved spending is still pending disbursement. 180 billion ain't nothing. I know Trump has not provided the support they need and that i support.

I think it was a Truth Social post from his friend who participated in the Jan 6 riots (i.e. his “inside source.”)

Nothing to fear, Kristi Noem and Tulsi G are on the job!

We’re safe.

Remember, the border is completely closed.

Plus, Kristi Noem, Tulsi Gabbard, Pete Hegseth, and the 22 year-old wunderkind, Thomas Fugate, are protecting us.
