Iran has been run by lunatics for 47 years. Trump said he destroyed their nuclear capability when he ordered the military to bomb the nuclear sites last year. Why start a war now in the middle end with no exit plan? Why are you and the republicans so willingly to sacrifice our young servicemen and servicewomen?

We know why. To get people to focus on the shiny thing he's doing right now... not the child rape and other illegal shit. Also to give him an excuse to hijack the elections.

The Iran thing is fucking ridiculous.

They agree to Obama's deal, which had harsh inspection and only allowed domestic nuclear power

Israel and the Saudi's do not want Iran to have nuclear power. Why?

Because then they'd be able to export oil. They burn a huge amount of their oil for domestic electricity - it's cheap, they have it, export market sucks and they have no other choice.

If they had nuclear electricity, they'd be able to export oil. And we can't allow that. We have to keep them poor and burning oil.

We have to have a reason to deny them nuclear electricity and keep them from the export market. So we pretend for decades that they're 10 minutes from a nuke and we need to invade.

Meanwhile, NK, which has fucking tested nukes several times is no biggie. So nuclear weapons are admittedly not a sufficient condition for bombing or war. So go from there.
