In reply to the discussion: IAEA - there was no imminent threat [View all]EndlessWire
(8,080 posts)that striving to obtain a nuclear bomb isn't frought with danger. At the very least, it could be used to threaten the rest of the world. We have the example of Russia. Whenever they are in the deep doo doo, they threaten a nuclear strike. This has enabled them to make war with Ukraine, when they are the aggressor. Iran is a supplier of drones to Russia. At least the parts. I wouldn't cry if that went away. I wouldn't care if all the ICBMs disappeared.
Having said that, I have no intention to debate the wisdom or foolhardiness of this strike. I despise trump. I think he lies for a living. And he is transactional, so he did this for personal profit, in some way we haven't seen. Bibi whispering in his ear sweet nothings to get the US to back him. I used to respect Israel, but after watching them ethnically cleansing Gaza--not so much. I think that Israel has their own monster to contend with, and they can't seem to get rid of him, either. But what Iran is doing in the region is unacceptable. Especially since they back the Houthis who are messing up the world shipping.
I feel bad for the Iranian people, but I have since their Morality Police have beaten to death little girls who aren't packing nuclear weapons in their hijabs. I have no use for their leadership.
I'm against war. I am against Netanyahu, who clearly lobbied for our bunker buster bombs. I am against the "antisemite" crap trump is using to beat down our educational system. I will not vote for any Repub ever again.
I'm just sad for us all. Sad for my country. I think this pr*ck stole the election and is now making haste to establish himself as a dictator. My country. So, I'm not in favor of anything he does. He is a liar, he's stupid, and his diplomacy consists of threats. He really thinks he can bully his way to a Nobel Prize.
Excuse me, I need more chocolate.
