All Things Trump: The Return Of The King

Iran is a theocratic, despotic regime. Sure, Israel has nukes, but would not use them unless they were used against them - they have enough military strength without them. Iran could potentially use nuclear weapons first. Measures to prevent their ability to make nuclear weapons seem reasonable to me. It is highly unlikely that other nuclear powers (Russia and china, obviously) could be drawn into this particular conflict.

IF Iran was developing nukes, then I can see why they would be targeted. We can't really have religious fundies with nuclear weapons.

Trump may have an opportunity to refocus ICE efforts on Muslims. The voter knows nothing of culture, so makes no difference what they speak. "We are deporting terrorists" will be the message. But Miller is obsessed with taking ove Califorania right now.

Iran already demonstrated they’re willing to work through negotiations to get what they want. They agreed to inspections and removing material in exchange for fewer sanctions. So, we have evidence Iran could have a preference for using nukes in negotiations vs bombing someone.

But we ignored that. We backed out of the deal and decided to escalate the risk of a nuclear Iran, and now we’re bombing them.
