Again, you cling to the ¨ they are like us¨ paradigm. Thatś nonsense. The religious leaders of Iran are not like us. Members of the shia elite ruling group have said more than once that nuclear war would bring in the prophets new world, which is their religious goal.I suspect that Russia might try to station nuclear weapons
in Cuba as a result of our efforts in eastern Europe.
What evidence is there that Iran would use nuclear warfare
to the ends you claim?
Do you think we should take military action to stop N Korea
from developing platforms for their nukes?
To brand countries as rational or irrational is an illusion.
Those traits are both present in all countries.
Certainly, Ameristan behaves irrationally often.
I suggest again that you read the koran and hadith, to get a perspective to view what they believe fervently.
Military action against N. Korea would ensure the destruction of Seoul, their hostage, which only 30 miles away NK has amassed massive firepower specifically for itś destruction. They already have short range delivery vehicles, and have sucessfully tested at least once an ICBM.
The Korean war still exists, we are in a truce, that is all. Military action would bring China, a large nuclear power right back in to a renewed Korean war.
Iranś hostage, the straits of Hormuz, means little to us now, as we don´t get a large portion of our oil through there any more, in fact we get very little if any. Except for our naval ships and boats who have the right to sail there in international waters, the straight means little to us economically.
Russia will do nothing but bluster. We did nothing when they annexed Crimea, invaded and took territory in Ukraine, put massive numbers of troops into suria, and built a deep water port for themselves in syria.
The democrat administration under obama rolled over and played dead for the Russians. They will do nothing if we decimate Iranś nuclear facilities,
