They still aren't unless I've missed the latest aggression and military successes of North Korea.
Neither was NK till they got Nukes
You can't expect everyone to support our most loyal ally in the Middle East as it fights to survive in a dangerous neighborhood.The killer is we had this all reasonably sorted out by Obama in 2015, with the JCPOA. IAEA had full access, and weaponized uranium - according to the IAEA - had essentially stopped (power production uranium was allowed).
Then in 2018 Trump, the Master Negotiator, hyperbolically withdrew from the JCPOA. Iran subsequently resumed enriching weapon-grade uranium.
We anti-Trumpers get kicked around a lot by MAGA whenever we cite Trump's failures & transgressions. But I think it's fair in this instance to say Trump has some culpability in getting us to the mess we're currently in.
Exactly this: Give up its uranium enrichment program so it can never create a nuclear weapon.So, since Iran doesn’t want to self destruct….why, exactly, are you arguing they do?

Israel is being threatened by an enemy, Iran, that wants to annihilate it. Iran does not want to give up its uranium enrichment program. So Israel took action to prevent them from having a nuclear weapon. Makes eminent sense to me.
Hah!
Mossad has done a spectacular job. Beyond!
Indeed; Iraq is still a mess, twenty years on, despite the 'nation building' nonsense. The sheer arrogance of attempting to impose democracy on a nation which had never known it, was disgraceful and it has failed spectacularly. 'Nation destruction' is a more apt description of America's blundering.
Iraq and the naivety of change, 20 years on
The painful reality is that Washington’s hastily cobbled together ethno-sectarian political system for post-2003 Iraq ended up doing the opposite of what it intended. The regional domino effect was also the opposite of what the U.S. had hoped for, as Iraq became a cautionary tale that regimes...www.mei.edu
Just stop defending Ritter.
This is antisemitic rubbish. Israel is a client. It ceases to exist without US suzerainty. It is the most dependent client in the world. It depends on its patron more than the separatists in Nagorno. Or the gangsters in Transnistria depend upon Russia.
It is a bad client, but not from special power over its patron. No, not even close. It's because its patron has been in thrall to end-times antisemites and their fellow travelers, and their eschatology demands the final annihilation of Israel, and nearly all Jews, to pave the way for some Jeebus feller.
One day, the US will have an executive that decides the client isn't worth the trouble. Not if. When. On that day, you can count Israel's lifespan in months.
I won't celebrate. I despise genocide and war crimes. But, it's coming. Israel cannot and will not outpace what it and its patron have allowed to be set in motion.
I don't think the Israelis are willing to announce things to anyoneNot really seeing any sources for this beyond this random twitter dude
You clearly never read Noam Chomsky or you wouldn't have placed him in the same category as ignorant genocidal scum like Netanyahu.You call yourself Chomsky? Why?
Your views obviously lean in the opposite direction.
Shouldn't you call yourself Mileikowsky? Or "Netanyahu"?
Bunch of Europeans whose ancestors never even set foot in what they call Israel, now calling themselves Israelites. What a masquerade.
And they're trampling all over the United States Constitution, especially Article 1, in connivance with the Cold War state.

I heard that the brain-damaged Democrat Senator John Fetterman recently said, “Our commitment to Israel must be absolute and I fully support this attack. Keep wiping out Iranian leadership and the nuclear personnel. We must provide whatever is necessary—military, intelligence, weaponry—to fully back Israel in striking Iran.”Rubio and his handlers Lindsey Graham and Dick Blumenthal love the warmongering.
No pressure, @SgtRock. I'm genuinely curious.Sure. You studied. Cool.
What I'd like to know, and it'd be neat if you did it without Google or ChatGPT, is what you think of the integration and rejection of Shariati in the formation of the Islamic Republic.
Sarin?Well, yes, but that's hardly "blanketing." Not the way we could do it, or Russia used to be able to do it.
And Sarin and VX don't last long in hot, dry climates. You get small areas of effect and low persistence. Assuming any gets through.
How many Iranian missiles have reached their target now?
Not even close.
If they could deliver it, I think they would.
Who the **** are we to tell a state to abandon the quest for the one thing that transforms it from receiver of power to dispenser of it?Exactly this: Give up its uranium enrichment program so it can never create a nuclear weapon.
Simple and straightforward - just exactly what Trump and Bibi told them to do.
Narrative changes according to the whim of those wielding power, and adjusts to whatever suits them best at any given time. For example, Trump calls Putin 'savvy' and his invasion 'genius', then changes his mind and calls him 'crazy' a few months later.
Putin's newest best buddy? It's clear where your allegiance lies.When Tucker Carlson will do what the compliant corporate media would never do.in regards to Israel:
Who are the warmongers? They would include anyone who’s calling Donald Trump today to demand air strikes and other direct US military involvement in a war with Iran. On that list: Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Rupert Murdoch, Ike Perlmutter and Miriam Adelson. At some point they will all have to answer for this, but you should know their names now.
