There are many people around the world who are relived with Iran denied nuclear weapons, not just Israel. There are many countries in the Middle East, some openly hostile to Israel, who are very happy that Iran will not get immunity like North Korea. Israel did most of the dirty work, US just came in to drive the final nail.

I would trust the Ayatollah with nukes much further than I would trust Stephen Miller.

  My trust with either of them having nukes is so low it's not worth comparing.

        I don't care about his opinion on America. Tell us about his policy on nuclear weapons.

        There are only two or three dots. They're not hard to connect.

        He talks a big game but he doesn't want everyone in his country to die. How do those dots line up for you?

        When someone says he'd like to destroy you, spends half a trillion dollars pursuing that ambition instead of feeding his people, and is in the midst of attempting to wipe one of your closest allies off the face of the earth, I think you should believe him. What would it take for you to think it's more than just talk?

        If my government was responsible for funding, training and defending foreign torture camps from international scrutiny, their citizens probably are justified in demanding the destruction of my states as a form of justice for unaccounted human rights abuses: https://www.encyclopedia.com/history/legal-and-political-magazines/human-rights-abuses-shahist-iran https://www.encyclopedia.com/history/legal-and-political-mag... > SAVAK was established in 1967 with help from both the CIA and the Israeli intelligence agency, Mossad. > All observers to trials since 1965 have reported allegations of torture which have been made by defendants and have expressed their own conviction that prisoners are tortured for the purpose of obtaining confessions. Alleged methods of torture include whipping and beating, electric shocks, the extraction of nails and teeth, boiling water pumped into the rectum, heavy weights hung on the testicles, tying the prisoner to a metal table heated to white heat, inserting a broken bottle into the anus, and rape. Good luck convincing Iranians that they should welcome your kind into their country for any reason ever again.

> There are many people around the world who are relived with Iran denied nuclear weapons, not just Israel. Even more people would be relieved if trump bombed israel's nuclear facilities. But that doesn't make it right or justified. Do you really want military attacks based on popularity or feelings? I don't think israel would enjoy living in such a world.
