    I dont see the potential for global conflict.

    Israel and Iran have been trading blows for decades now. Some direct, many indirect. It’s a regional conflict, and regional it will remain.

    Every now and then, Israel acts to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear power – and honestly, we’re all the better for it, the world does not need another set of religious crazies to have nukes.

    (That being said, is Netanyahu a deplorable asshat? Absolutely yes – but for different reasons)

      At this point, I would be fine with Iran having the bomb. I really don’t see any evidence that they would behave more recklessly with it than Israel does.

        cue Oprah

        YOU GET THE BOMB, YOU GET THE BOMB, YOU GET THE BOMB, EVERYONE GETS THE BOMB!


        Them not behaving more recklessly than Israel is unfortunately not a high bar; which given their past actions I’m not sure they’d pass. I’d like to err on the side of caution here.

          What “past actions”? Being constantly attacked and threatened by empire and a genocidal cult?

            for starters, If you’d like to immerse yourself into the system of Middle Eastern clients and proxies, you will have an especially fun and long day going through the rather noxious minions of Iran.

          Iran has a right to self defense. Them getting the bomb is the side of caution here. Otherwise they will keep being attacked by Israel and it’s allies

      “have been trading blows for decades now. Some direct, many indirect. It’s a regional conflict, and regional it will remain.”

      Lol, this sounds like a quote from someone in 1914 being catastrophicly wrong.

      Every now and then, Israel acts to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear power – and honestly, we’re all the better for it, the world does not need another set of religious crazies to have nukes.

      But apparently we do need religious crazies who already have nukes, are in the middle of a massive genocide, are attacking and occupying multiple other countries, and have ambitions of conquering the whole middle east, to act as World Police?

      You’re literally endorsing war crimes.

      Netanyahu a deplorable asshat

      By “deplorable asshat”, you mean the fascist leader of a genocidal ethnostate currently launching multiple wars of aggression.

        …or from someone describing one of the scores of conflicts since where “regional” has been a fitting description
