Credible deterrent against stuff like this?
- EnPissant 1y ago> Our intelligence concluded Iran wasn’t moving towards a nuke > Credible deterrent against stuff like this? You mean the credible deterrent is moving towards a nuke?
- MarkMarine 1y agoThat is the point of what I was saying, yes. Look I dgaf about what Iran was doing, there is no wool over my eyes about what that state is capable of. I saw the IEDs with copper cones used to kill and maim my friends, they almost certainly came from Iran. What I care about is: congress declares war, not the executive. The people should decide, and we just stepped 10 steps closer to the monarchy we tried to depose 250 years ago.
- christophilus 1y agoThis has been happening my entire 40+ years of life. I agree it shouldn’t, but this ain’t anything new. If this makes Trump a monarchy, then every president since 2000 was a monarch.
- dragontamer 1y agoStraw, camel, back. 2024 Trump is using the power of the executive in ways even more grotesquely than 2016 Trump.

- smashah 1y agoTrump ripped up JCPOA and you know this. Israel could also do that. Oh but wait then the inspections would find stolen American nuclear material.
- archsurface 1y agoCommunication lines are always open for discussion and negotiation; the end of one agreement doesn't mean no more agreements.
- yibg 1y agoAgreement requires 2 sides doesn't it? Who's agreeing on the American side?
