Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted February 2, 2021 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) Why wouldn't Iran want nuclear weapons? I'm not saying they've ever been within months hell they could already have them as they've been enriching uranium for years. Is Iran a threat to us? Not really. Let Israel and S.A. deal with them. Get out of the ME now. Edited February 2, 2021 by Highmark 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos Danger Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Iran is like a drunk guy waving a gun on his front lawn yelling about his wife. When the cops show up are they going to assume the gun is empty? Iran has said and done things in the past that warrant their neighbors to be apprehensive. I agree that it is not a job for the US at this point but Biden moved troops into Syria on the day of his inauguration so I would expect military escalation in the ME is coming soon.

Set them back mildly and I'm sure they went hog wild after that. After the US invasion of Iraq in 2003 I'm sure every dictatorial state in the ME is trying to protect themselves by obtaining WMD's. Why wouldn't they? Pretty common for dictators that feel threatened by the US to try and obtain WMD's. For some reason they feel this is the security blanket needed to stop the US.

Iran is as trusting as parts of our own govt. No govt is to be fully trusted. Not one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iran has done nothing but espouse a little rhetoric in kind. Meanwhile the US is launching 20-30k bombings per year and has been in 11 different countries for 2 decades 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iran has done much more than that however much of what they did to us is because we were somewhere we shouldn't have been. The ME still comes down to a religious war when looking at conflicts between those countries. Yes its also about resources but the sects of Islam hate one another more than they hate western democratic civilization and they hated the Joo's since long before Christ.
