Lewzer Rages Over No-Bliteration

Who could have imagined that sticking a reality show guy with 34 felony fraud convictions in the Oval Office would result in him putting on a bogus show that accomplished nothing?

The HORRIBLE Truth About Iran the West Doesn't Understand - Matthew Syed

What is this guy droning on about? This is all the same propaganda we heard during the Reagan Administration.

It's this thing called history; Iran's people are some of the most welcoming in the world... their leadership is a nationalistic, fundamentalist, violent authoritarian Dictatorship/martyr cult... sorta like ours is becoming.

There's no sane country, even their allies in the area, who really want them to have a nuke, because odds are they will use it.

Which doesn't mean that Israel shouldn't be bunker bombed for what they are doing in Gaza.

No good guys in the leadership in either nation.

Not buying it. Iran very much understands the concept of proportional response. That video claims in the first few seconds that Iran won't understand MAD.

No question. They do. They're not going to first strike with a nuke.

What Iran having a nuke WILL do is deter the zionist entity.

Listen to your triangulation nonsense.
Does anybody want anybody else to have a nuke?
No. End of talking point.

Why one wants Iran to have nukes.

non-partisan think tank.... just the Executive Summary, um, sums up the problem of heavily politically indoctrinated wannabe martyr warriors with nukes.

It would be like giving MAGA nukes.... oh, wait...

"What's that? Are you suggesting that it would be a bad idea for Iran, a nation that sponsors suicide attacks targeting civilians (Iran and state-sponsored terrorism en.wikipedia.org) and is run by a messianic apocalyptic cult which has put up a countdown clock to the 2040 destruction of Israel prophesied by one of their Ayatollah Asa-Whollahs, to acquire nuclear weapons? What a strange thought!"

-Pro-Hamasers who definitely are not pro-terrorism or for the wholesale slaughter of 10 million Israelis, including half the world's Jews

Have you taken a look at who's running National Security for Israel?

It's a heavily politically indoctrinated wannabe martyr warrior with nukes.

It's not a What About Israel thing... as I noted above, they deserve (more accurate) bunker bombs dropped on them for what they have done and are doing right now in Gaza.

But I'm glad you agree that there are no good guys in this fight.

I hate in when we quarrel; it upsets the children!

There are good guys in this fight.

The good guys are the civilians, 97% Palestinians, getting murdered by the bad guys.

"It's not a What About Israel thing."

It's a Both Sides thing.

If Israel had nukes and Iran had nukes, the conflict would look very different.

No good leaders, as I also mentioned above... in #7. Easy to find with Flag trifecta.

The people of the nations themselves are, except for Settlers and Jihadists, mostly are a kind and considerate people, from my experience.

Only the uneducated fools believe in that martyrdom crap. Iranian leaders don't actually want to die any more than Trump or Putin does.

In other words, the Iranians are just as hypocritical as the Republicans.

Vlad is a billionaire with palaces and a newish young wife, and not at all stupid or suicidal. Trump may be both, but he's more incompetent and danger to his own country.

Iranian leaders have for the last few decades trained dedicated warrior martyrs to do exactly that on command:

Thus, the aforementioned Iranian Doomsday clock (en.wikipedia.org) set to give Israel a delightful buzz 15 short years from now. It came to Ayatollah Asa-Whollah in a dream, and the Iranians are just developing nukes so the Jews don't make Allah into a liar by not spontaneously combusting.
