The only way the US wins a war with Iran easily, quickly, and without massive losses is if it uses a nuclear weapon. This fact, combined with that Huckabee post comparing Trump to Truman in 1945 and his "evacuate Tehran" and "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER" statements, makes me nervous. Caitlin Johnstone
To be fair...
That's why they always say Iran is perpetually 1-5 years away from having nukes.
And why that left Iran with one logical path: actually develop nuclear weapons.
Because even if they don't try. Israel is going to keep saying they're trying, and pre-emptively attacking, until Iran actually launches a nuke. Hopefully in a test capacity at least.
Honestly... Yeah, Iran is working towards a nuke, primarily because that would make decapitating their government infeasible (by current standards)
Iran are not the good guys. The Iranian people seem pretty alright TBH, but their government sucks
They are a state that sponsors terrorism for geopolitical objectives
But they're also the party trying to deescalate. Consistently, for several years now. Israel is not. And that's so incredibly shameful
Yeah, and it's not like there's a reason they don't have a democracy or anything...

I've got very few problems with people, but man, a lot of governments are dog shit these days.
It's important to remember the distinction because actual wars are breaking out and it's always the people that pay the price, rarely the governments
From my understanding they already have all compartments developed (including 60% angereichertes Uran which only use is for making a bomb) but yet stuck to stick it all together. Newer research showed they are more like 1-2 weeks away (well before the Israeli strikes). Now they will be on full Sprint until they either have one or their resources get destroyed/taken. Don't even know what option I prefer nowadays.
