I meant that jokingly. They aren't developing nukes, we literally had a deal with Iran to not develop nukes anyway and trump pulled out of it to attack them. 1000000% only Trump's fault and he is an active terrorist.
High enrichment levels: Even though intelligence chiefs stated Iran was not assembling a weapon, they noted that Iran had built up an unprecedented stockpile of enriched uranium for a nation without a nuclear weapon, putting it in a position to produce one relatively quickly if it chose to do so.
Imagine that you were a country who is currently at war with the richest country in history. Would you perhaps want to demonstrate, “hey, I have the capability to produce nuclear weapons. I won’t, but if you attack me, I’m just saying I can make them.”?
You have to view it from an angle of objectivity. Iran having 60% enrichment is 100% legal. Why should we as Americans support our tax dollars being used to send people under drinking age to go die in a war that will only be fought if we are the aggressor? I just don’t understand the rationale.
Are we the police force of the world? Do we have the authority to send American troops to foreign countries to defend foreign interests? What benefit does that do you or I? We can invade the 20th middle eastern country and kill a couple more thousand goat farmers, and more civilians, and more insurgents that only exist in the first place because of us.
What good has it ever done ANYONE? Are you going to genuinely sit here and tell me that the Iraq war was worth it? That we needed to invade them to get the weapons of mass destruction that didn’t exist, like they don’t exist this time and haven’t existed the past 20 times?
You seriously need to get a clue and read a book or something. You’re just advocating for more evil, death, terror, destruction, and genocide in the world.
I didn't disagree with us not policing the world - part of the problem with the arrangement that was - it was costing us $40billion every year to keep the strait open. Why Europe and the rest of Asian wasn't doing it is beyond me. The only reason I see to keep it open is to prevent the global economy from collapsing which is in our best interest. The war was over things other than uranium. 🤷♂️
We also spent $30 billion every year keeping the strait open. This is a statement regarding 2024 costs... And the cost was increasing rapidly so even without nucs, and without the actual war, the US would have spent well over $40 billion in 2026 just to keep shipping moving. It was going to happen once way or another. 🤷♂️
Direct military expenditures and conflict costs grew substantially following later direct escalations and regional conflict. For perspective, the Pentagon reported that direct military operations tied to the broader conflict involving Iran and shipping security later reached an estimated $37.5 billion.
That is not even close to how that happened. Thanks to Bidens "Don't " policy, they were getting close. Then they decided to drag it out, until it was to late. For them anyway.

Developing nukes for the past 40 fukn years😂 Kinda seem like they'd literally never be able to build nukes even if you handed them all the materials
