Assume the enrichment story is cover for reality. They could have going on a dozen nukes already. To say, as some talking heads say, that they are 5-10 years from their first nuke is living in a make-believe world and can't be the basis for real-world decisions.
We know Iran is lying about their true intentions, Russia and China know it too, heck, Iran knows they're lying about their true intentions. Listening to the voice recordings from Flight 93 prove that the faith of Islam will lying about anything to cover their true intentions.
It's time to take them out of the picture, the world be damned.
Israel could take care of Iran in about 5 minutes.
It will be sooner, rather than later. I Euronate on world opinion..
The US could take care of Iran, in three. Just put one SLBM trident sub off their coast.
They have the targeting data, so any Ohio boomer within the 4000+ mile range of the Trident 2(D5) can do the shooting...
Amen, Amen, and again I say Amen! Very well stated pctech. Agree more I could not!
