Newsflash. They don’t have nukes. And they wouldn’t have nukes for the next 10 yrs, esp after last years June bombing. Source: our own U.S. intelligence.
Nuclear weapon is the new boogeyman. NK is even nuttier than Iran, yet they never got bombed like Iran. Weird. Oh wait, I know why.

Show how Iran was an “imminent threat” to the 50 States of the USA.

So now the FBI is cool and trusted. UNlike the previous few years when they tried to investigate crimes like voter fraud allegations, Jan 6 attack, well then they were the enemy of the people.
What a joke. Cyber? Espionage? We just had a mayor of Arcadia, CA be arrested for espionage for China. You don’t attack mainland China for it. China has far more cyber threats, espionage threats, and influence inside America, and nothing happens.
Iran threats inside America are a joke. A literal nothing burger. Iranian proxies have killed US soldiers engaged in a war over in the ME. Iran is a nothing burger to people inside the United States.
But don’t worry though - people are about to find about these gas prices are here to stay for the year and increase even more. That will be fun for our jobs!

Do you know when was that estimate done and what transpired since then? A small hint... that intelligence was grossly out of date. Care to guess by how much? You can easily verify it and report back....
Uh huh... buried. Now we play whack-a-mole unless they give up on the nukes.... that's the net effect of having a fanatical regime hellbent on acquiring nuclear weapons. And you seem to love the idea of them having it as you said so yourself.
Just as we weren't under any imminent threat on December 6, 1941, nor on September 10, 2001.... or how the world was under no threat during Anschluss or invasion of Poland. Naturally, in your world, nuking Tel Aviv would be justified, wouldn't it? Not to mention, it wouldn't have any effect on us, nor would it be in our national interest.... right?
The back and forth is pretty fun when you're dealing with highly ignorant, highly partisan, and highly opinionated people who think they know everything and claim they voted for Trump...
But we attacked 3 sites in June. Obliterated, we were told by the WH Press.
And then this war, under the guise we were under “imminent threat.” Thats horse manure - and you know it. I wish some here could at least take that step back and acknowledge that. We were not under any imminent threat. There is no nuke or ballistic missile capable of reaching us from Iran in 2025 or 2026. The reasons for the war changed several times. Then it became well Israel was going to attack, so we feared our bases would get hit, so we attacked too. And then some on APC said this has nothing to do with Iran, it’s actually a power move against Russia and China (LOL).
So - since this back and forth will get nowhere. Let’s just talk about how this ends , because that’s what this thread is really about. Economic impact to us all. How do you envision Trump ending this? I can’t use the 4 letter word that represents a Mexican food item, but I’d be willing to bet we are going to end up getting a terrible deal when all is said and done. But it’ll be played as a victory.
