Dude, they aren't the only ones fucking around and finding out. Have you been living under a rock for the entire disastrous War on Terror?
This was an unhinged and completely unnecessary act of war. Only weeks ago, the Trump administration confirmed that Iran was not pursuing nuclear weapons. Just because Bibi gets out his 30 year old diagram of a Wile E. Cayote bomb and claims Iran's "weeks away" for the 50th time doesn't mean anything.
What is this imperialistic garbage where America has the right to tell every nation on Earth that they have 60 days to comply with anything?

This has no boots on the ground and no regime change calls.... entirely different then Iraq or Afghanistan
Plus ummm even the IAEA has said Iran was violating what they claimed since early 2000s

This just started. Your party had a lot of support because Trump didn't get us into any new wars. That support was just lost, to a great extent.
Americans are sick of this shit and it's not going to end well for your warmongering comrades.

Reagan did the exact same things.... twice.
You understand they have attacked American bases twice in the last week via their proxies in Iraq right? We were able to shot down the drones before hand but Iran was already acting out.
reply
Do you really want to compare the scope of American acts against Iran with their actions against America? You need to stop drinking the Kool Aid
Edit: Also, no one but Republican sycophants give a shit about what Reagan did 40 years ago. We are sick of the wars that people like you keep dragging us into.

Sounds like you are the one drinking the Kool Aid...
Trump is calling for peace and is calling for it right now. Iran will you pick up the phone? No they wont because they want the US to impose its will on Israel which contradicts what you said about playing world police and forcing people to act one way or another. Israel can do its own stuff and so can the US its call independence

Calling for peace after bombing someone. Ok, good luck with that.
Have fun siding with Lindsey Graham and the other lunatics. The people who keep being right about these conflicts will be right again this time. I'm happy to stand by that. @remindme in 1 year. We'll see who was drunk on Kool Aid.

Iran is clearly attempting to build nuclear weapons. There aren't civilian applications for uranium enriched beyond 20%. As it is, Iran has openly admitted to the IAEA that they're enriching to 60%.
reply
Yes, they've been open about enriching uranium for energy and medical purposes. That's not justification for anything.
By my understanding, they were complying with inspections while the Iran Deal was in place and have always been open to resuming those.
Stop falling for every dumb piece of war propaganda.

Neither medical nor energy purposes need 60% enriched uranium. Certainly not 83%
Stop falling for dumb Iranian propaganda.
reply
Naval reactors do use that level of enrichment, unlike nuclear weapons.

The SMRs in subs use roughly 20% enrichment.... far cry from 60% that is a level that is way to high and dangerous

Iran doesn't have nuclear powered submarines and isn't building any; it would be perfectly reasonable to ensure they don't get any even if they tried.
Is Trump compromised? Do they have something on him, an Epstein style revelation? I know he was on the island.
He was, previously, strong on "no new wars". I didn't expect this.
I guess my expectations for politicians should never be above zero.
reply
No this is an attack like Reagan did on Iran in the 80s there is no war that follows because Iran literally would fall and crumble. The overwhelming show of force gives them pause in doing anything stupid.
reply
That's far and away the most likely scenario to me. Plus, Elon stated it openly. If it weren't true, the easiest remedy would be to release the documents.
