This war is going to become a disaster, sad for the world

no one is going to win in this war except the companies that make weapons.

A country with that regime building nuclear weapons who have been chanting "death to America" for how many years now?

Their own people protesting gunned down by that same regime by the thousands (some estimate 30k dead).

Yeah, what bad could come of that?

North Korea said the same thing and yet the US didnt do anything. whats the difference? North Korea has nukes so the US just sucks it up and leaves North Korea alone. I am not arguing in favor of North Korea, or Iran, I am saying if you keep invading countries eventually something will go wrong. By any measure Iran getting enough Nukes would result in the same outcome - being left alone. But Iran has oil so the US would prefer to steal the oil, and it needs its own government in Iran to do that, therefore Iran cannot be allowed to have the ability to defend itself.

What bad could come? well Iran does have WMD's, in the form of biological weapons, just not 100 nuclear weapons. if it really wanted to it could do moderate/a lot of damage (depending on your view) one way or the other. It seems pretty reckless for a country to sail around the world to bomb a country that has never attacked it.

Imagine your walking down the street and someone runs up to you and attacks you for no reason. "sorry, your living on the same street as my enemy".

Why would people chant death to America? What reason could they have i wonder? lol .. 12 day war Trump said we destroyed their nuclear program for years ..Did he mean for days? What if a Nazi group chanted something in America..Would you say look what America is chanting?

We also know Israel has people in Iran giving arms to protestors, and starlink to organize a resistance to the regime .. We have Ice shooting protesters in America .. I not saying the regime in Iran is good in anyway ..But propaganda in western countries, will get you to hate whoever they want sounds like.. While we starve children to death all the time with sanctions alone during peace time.

Yea, we should just wait for them to achieve nuclear weapons and than trust their judgment

Trump trying to prove he can shit on the Constitution better than anyone.

It goes back to the birth of nuclear weapons. The US had a moment where it mulled over nuking Russia before Russia got nukes. They determined it was not viable, noting the technology was there and all that would happen is that the Russians would come out of the Ural Mountains 7 years later and nuke the US in return. The same calculation was had when China was getting Nukes and the US and Russia made the same decision - not to intervene. While the US and Russia were bickering more and more countries got nukes. That made the US and Russia pause. They then worked together to stop Nuclear proliferation.

The US had a DEAL with Iran, whereby Iran agreed not to build nukes. Iran is a religious country and also had a religious decree not to build a weapon. The US, under Trump, BROKE that Deal, and Europe also BROKE that deal. The US has made the calculation for Iran, that it will destroy Iran to stop them from getting a nuke forever. It can easily be argued that this will simply hasten the urgency for Iran to get a nuclear arsenal. Depending on how bad it gets then...lets see what the FAFO looks like. The US and Israel can try to say in the future (if Iran uses nukes or what not) that Iran carried out an unprovoked attack but well, what is today if not an unprovoked attack.

The US has the ability to wage war on Iran for max 2 weeks. based on current assets in the region. so this is not a land invasion. its simply getting a base ball bat and smashing someones house, and killing a few family members. not sure how thats expected to result in a Pro American (or Pro Israeli) government in Iran.

Basically the Deal was, Iran would not get nukes and in response the US would not attack Iran. so now the US has twice attacked Iran in the space of a year. So yea, the obvious thing for Iran now is to get as many nukes as possible. From a logic standpoint.

hot off the presses:

In fairness, Spain is the only one of those countries that condemned the attacks.

“We reject the unilateral military action of the United States and Israel, which represents an escalation and contributes to a more uncertain and hostile international order”

The rest of them do as they are told.
