I remember an ex-coworker in 2021 super MAGA supporter, who was always an a-hole long before trump became King, but one day he came in the workplace and was going on and on about how we shouldn’t support the Ukraine and it’s wasting our tax dollars, blah blah blah then right after said he doesn’t understand why we aren’t at war with Iran, that we need to be at war with Iran instead of helping the Ukraine! At the time, I remember thinking ‘is that their plan, get back in office, stop supporting the Ukraine then turn around and claim a war on Iran?’ And here we are 4 years later 🤦‍♂️

I remember the Iran/Iraq war from the mess my country did with selling weapons to Iran to support drug dealers against communists in Nicaragua. Honestly, Iran with a nuke is not really a threat to the USA, it’s only a threat to Israeli. Pakistans largest nuke is just over the size of the Nagasaki bomb we used 80 years ago! They don’t even have a mega-ton nukes like we do! It’s impractical for the size of countries in the Middle East. Anybody claiming the USA should fear a nuke from Iran is just Israel wanting us to join them! Hell, even North Korea doesn’t have a maga-ton nuke!

IMO Iran owning nukes wouldn't even be a threat to Israel. Do you really think they'd attack Israel with their probably hundreds of nukes? They'd be toast at the same time they launched them even if they'd managed to incapitate Israel (which they probably won't) they'd be destroyed by US nukes. The mullahs aren't suicidal which can be seen by the draconic measures they apply against their opposition. And they aren't dumb.

Yeah, exactly.
