I haven't yet seen any proof that they are "found guilty" of weaponizing their nuclear potential. Only that the US politicians can't seem to get their story straight about it. But if we should take Netanyahu at his word, then they should have had a weaponized nuclear arsenal 30 years ago, right?
I wouldn't claim it was a peaceful time, but I don't think by any stretch of the imagination it's hard to picture the carnage that would have ensued if for a moment the US or Russia hadn't believed their enemy blown them to smithereens.
My understanding is that, among those wars you listed, Iraq is a similar case, in that we were expected to believe that this was necessary in the name of "peace" in the M.E. to stop them from developing their nuclear capabilities. The isreali-american axis is very good at coercing once thriving nations into the peaceful third world. In fact, it demonstrates perfectly the lack of restraint you mentioned.
I know plenty of Americans as I do Iranians, and what I see from both is a rally around governments they were once very critical of. Nasty business, war.
I haven't seen any proof either and I don't think we ever will: "there is no evidence because we successfully destroyed everything"... or something like that.
Iraq is a similar case
I meant the Iraq/Iran war of the 80's which was still during (the tail end of) the Cold War, as that was the near-decade-long theatre of destruction for a couple million lives.
But yeah, the US invasion under Bush Jr. was supposedly a lie - although I saw a comment here on SN this morning that refutes that and claims that it was all legit. Who knows... When there's an appearance that it's acceptable for leadership to lie to the people, then it doesn't really matter what the truth is. It just matters whether one gets to profit off the leadership in sufficient means to survive the next leadership. This is probably why they all love shitcoins.

Yeah, add some nationalism to flavor it off and we'll never see the end of retards dancing in the streets at the demise of what their lords and masters told them was the enemy - also on both sides. The greater the massacre, the greater the party. Humanity really is a sad species.
