>Iran has repeatedly expressed its desire to obliterate another sovereign nation
Do you realize that stating we must use "any means necessary" to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear bomb is expressing the desire to obliterate a sovereign nation? What means are acceptable for preventing your possible aggression?
>We can, in fact, ensure that they are incapable of making nuclear bombs. A country with stone-age technology is not going to be enriching nuclear fuel.
So you're fine killing however many millions of Iranians to prevent them from having the potential to kill a large number of people.
- whatshisface 5y agoI doubt the parent commenter is really all that bloodthirsty, instead they are likely imagining Iran as a country in the abstract sense, without inhabitants.
- boomboomsubban 5y agoSaying such things without imaging how it would affect the inhabitants is bloodthirsty even if unintentional. These kinds of actions have consequences for the population.
- poisonarena 5y agoI think parent commenter didn't imply what you are saying he did. He meant surgical strikes on sites and continued assassinations to prevent Iran from getting the bomb.
- leephillips 5y agoYes. I don’t think a reasonable interpretation of my comment is that I’m in favor of slaughtering the population.
- checkyoursudo 5y agoWhat exactly do you propose as a reasonable interpretation of "literally any means necessary"? Not literally? Not any?
- leephillips 5y agoNecessary.
- boomboomsubban 5y agoBy "literally any means necessary," including sending them back to stone age technology. Your comments give me no reason to expect you'd shy away from any expenditure of Iranian life.
