    Israel is the one who gave us the false intelligence about Iraq having wmds. I imagine this is a repeat of that. But we do know that Iran uses uranium for electricity.

        So? Is it really that bad if Iran has nukes? It’s not like they’d be the only one’s in the region with them. Obviously it would be better if nobody had them, but in a MAD world, it’s just deterrence.

          Yes, it only takes 1 stupid dictator to use one to fuck over everyone. Like as much as I hate Israel existing as a state, I dint want them to get nuked, and there is a very non-zero chance that they would use them on Israel. Then Trump/bibi might want to retaliate against Iran and at that point fucking anything could happen, the cats out of the bag at that point, Russia might justify there use in ukrain, if Israel survives it could use them on their unfriendly neighbours in “”““self defence””“”, and things just escalate and escalate until we’re all dead.

            Ok, but there’s also a very non-zero chance Israel presses the button first. Like I said, nobody should have them but since we’re not living in that world, the next best thing is deterrence.

              Yeah, but that’s ok because it’s not an atrocity when they do it.
