Israel Threatened By Iranian Nukes

Wonder why?

 

Gee, then I guess it's a good thing we convinced Iran to come to terms REDUCING their future capacity to annihilate.

 

Fuck it then. Let's invade Iran and start World War III.

 

I understand that Israel is justifiably worried what the Iranians will spend their new found wealth on. But it seems to me that those problems can be largely, for lack of a better word, contained. But if this deal does not go through and the Iranians acquire nuclear weapons and then decide to use them then the the population of Israel will be essentially wiped out. So what is the greater risk?

 

But as I keep saying - and nobody except Stoney seems to grasp - without the deal, most of the nations making up the sanctions regime are going to bail, and Iran will gain the same money to funnel to its proxies, but without a framework in place to limit its nuclear efforts and reinstitute the sanctions in the event of violations. You're right - there's no really good outcome. But this still seems to me like the best of a bunch of crappy options.

 

I'm sorry, but framework or no, as a practical matter the deal provides for no substantive checks. Iran gets all the time it needs to cover up any tracks, and that's if the framework is actually adhered to!

 

I'll wait for you to explain to us how well sanctions are going to work in perpetuity without any international support.

 

They can't work any worse than that inspection/framework that's been agreed to.

If you wanna say that nothing can be done to limit Iran's nuclear ambitions, have at it. But don't sit there and pretend that Israel's dismay over this "deal" is misplaced.

 

Whatever you want to say about the Iran deal, the evidence that Wright was a big influence on Obama comes from Obama.

So, either he was a big influence on him, or Obama exaggerated his influence, in order to bolster his Christian credentials.
