“You do understand that the mullahs view a nuclear war differently than the old Soviets (who were primarily concerned with the defense of the Motherland)?”
in actuality, I agree with the points you made. however, since I personally can’t do much about it, I have the luxury of saying just as Obama can look right in the camera and lie to us in order to get some to believe him, it’s possible Iranian leaders like their positions of power and talk the talk they do to keep their citizens in line.
The use Palestinian thugs for that job.
The mullahs are True Believers - a Shiite sect - and they truly do believe every word.
