“What Iran wants is nukes. Why? Because they want to dominate Islam politically and religiously.”
No, they want them for one reason. They saw what happened to Saddam and Khaddafy. Nukes make you invasion proof. We would never attack a nuclear armed country lightly.
You just need a few and you are much safer from our global regime change jihad.
The more countries we invade, the more small countries want a nuke.
Yes, but a renegade country attempting to obtain a small number of nukes, and won’t desist, (and there are people with sense in charge here) invites an utterly devastating 1st strike. There’s no “lightly” about it. “Nuke proof” is nonsensical thinking if you get blasted to bits first.
Saddam was less about “regime change” than making an example. It worked well, too, but then we got fuzzy and lost our focus.
If allowed to occur, a nuclear arms RACE (and that’s exactly what it will be without early, forceful if need be, intervention) in the ME will be disastrous, and not just to the ME, Israel, etc.
Granted, much of the time we just have people in charge who mostly kick the cans down the road, or make the problems worse. The whole “Arab Spring” bit is an example of the latter. There, I think we agree.
Finally, sorry, listen again to what they (Iran) preach. True, it too is a divided country, but, the “moderates” really have limited control.
