Bottom line, and this will resonate with US voters, there was no need for the US to invade Iran, it was not in the security interests of our country!!!

Agree with you, not a threat at the moment but most certainly a possible threat to the world in the future that would need addressing at some point in time in a nuclear time.
Hence my as yet unanswered question.

It’s not a valid question. Because a few years ago for example nobody could have predicted that the US would be such a threat to the world as it has suddenly become. It makes me wonder whether their intelligence is using AI predictions. Perhaps that’s where you’re getting your own fear mongering.

Actually you are becoming rather defensive and rude … your questions have been answered many times, at length, in depth and you just refuse to accept an opinion that differs to your own.
Okay … if you think that Trump & Netanyahu are doing the right thing, to magnanimously save the world from Iranian domination … and not forgeting Israel’s encroachment into Lebanon … what do you think the dynamic duo should do next?
Extend the war?
Trump has made vague vague murmuring about ‘mission complete’?
Do you think he’s right?
Should Israel continue their crusade alone?
I can offer to answer these using my Magic-8 ball. It’s always 100% accurate.
Aw come on man, you have to realize that you will not get an answer to your question. The only think you will get is that they made up in their head, deflect from the question or try to belittle you.
They can’t get quotes right even if you provide the transcript. They will beat around the bush and never ever admit to their error. You can provide the history of Iran and every stunt Iran has tried to block inspections, not following agreements or treaties they violated.
I believe the correct term is woke. Where facts and the Truth baffles em.

Here is an example
There is no facts or truth to this statement. Tell the truth to these countries thinks it bullying.
Trump told the NATO countries to pay their dues but some how couldn’t afford it but all of a sudden when Russia invaded Ukraine, look at how much money they could find. They don’t even have enough defense equipment to defend themselves and blame the US introducing they to the real world.
Look how far back Iran has been BS the world and ignoring agreements with the UN, the EU. Look how far back the presidentscof the US were saying that Iran is going to be a problem. But like every thing else they think talks will fix everything. No talking with Russia, no talking with Palestine and no talking with Iran.
Some how they think it ok with Iran financing terrorists organizations and attacking other countries. And what do the do, talk them to death and accomplishing nothing.

Here is another one they like to use
Asking questions to them us offensive and rude. Nothing is rude about fact and the truth. But it’s rude???
But admit you missed it and they will not point it out or repeat it.
And as is said, deflect
And one I failed to mention, they will put questions before you, expecting answers from you and not answering your questions first.
So keep asking your same question. Rephrase it because they may not understand the question.
And do as they always add a few questions in your comments and don’t answer theirs until they answer yours. And don’t expect a honest answer.

Reminds me of 2003, GW sending troops into Iraq because he “believed them to have weapons of mass destruction”, which they did not, just as Nazi Don’s / Corporate Americas excuse (as GW’s / Corporate America) to invade hoping to control respective oil industries. The 2003 and 2026 invasions were incited by US Corporations aspirations to control the oil reserves of victim countries. The US was not prepared for what they encountered in Iraq in 2003, and Nazi Don is not prepared for they are encountering in Iran, Nazi Don is crying for help already. Slowly more countries will start to step up and escalate this conflict (UK already has) till we end up with WWIII, hope I’m wrong!!!
The funny thing about “intelligence”, it is/ can be very subjective, and those who interpret it see what they want to see, and that is how we get into trouble.

The US has not / cannot stop the problems presented by any nation, and with the exception of the coalition of countries in Desert Storm, has not been close to militarily solving anything since WWII without the help of allies, and by the way, neither has Russia.
I do not think Israel is the reason Nazi Don invaded Iran, Israel provided Nazi Don and Corporate America with the excuse to invade Iran, Iranian oil was the reason.
I have said this before but the current mess is because of British and US interference in the affairs of the democratically elected Iranian government in 1953. When the government tried to nationalise the oil industry for the benefit of the people of Iran which Britain and the US (and BP) didn’t like.
They overthrew the elected Government, installed the Shah as a dictator and it has gone downhill ever since.

Yes, Robin, I have already noticed. The response is not relevant, but intransigent opinion and anti-poster-based. Very disappointing.

Here’s my answer, which is simply a broader explanation of an answer already given. But first, here is my condition - you answer the questions I posed above. As you are so very determined to get your answer (why others have to give, why you can’t give your version - who knows), then you can do the decent thing and attempt to answer my questions.
So, your question was how does the world address a potential future problem should Iran continue on its course of nuclear capability and terrorism funding. Yes?
It is important to note that this is a straw man question - it postulates a world that no longer exists. It is a question based on Iran prior to the US/Israel attacks. Now that US has created a war and attempted to destroy Iran’s military capability, and triggered Iran’s retaliatory actions - for today’s scenario, I’ve no idea. I’d have thought that should only be answered by those supporting this war - that is, you, for example.
Therefore I think that you are asking that we wind back to before the US attacks on Iran and use that set of circumstances as the basis for answering your question. But that world is gone, is it not. Any possible answer is now completely destroyed.
Indeed, why not go further back in time. Why did the US not hand over the Shah back in 1979 and pay back the $20bn he stole from Iran? And used that to re-build relations with the new Iran regime. That was the time to help steer the regime away from being an anti-west, anti-US state. That actually is the best answer.
Now I know that you will be bleating at this point about me not providing an answer. So here is the realistic plausible approach that should have been taken to diffuse Iran’s menace. First, resume negotiations to establish limits on what Iran is doing with independent monitoring. Second, resume diplomatic relations and trade relations. Third, curtail (not stop, just reduce) US military and financial support to Israel, get rid of Netanyahu and get Israel to limit its aggression. Have that control of Israel as a core part of the new relations with Iran - and a condition of the regime relaxing its control over its own population. Do all that with the involvement of the other gulf states - make them part of the new relations with Iran.
There you go - difficult but possible for the most powerful president in the world. Or rather, it would have been possible of he’d not started the war. So it was a complete waste of my time writing it down and its a complete waste of your time trying to argue against it.
The fact is that so long as the US is supporting Israel’s aggressive stance in the Middle East they will have a problem in the Middle East.
It’s unclear why Mr T’s supporters think it’s a good arrangement for the US to keep on this special relationship with a country that has nothing to do with them, in a region that has nothing to do with them. Nobody can answer that question and it is deflected constantly.
Today Iran is the problem, pick another year it may have been Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Gaza etc. There is meddling, regime change and then just chaos follows. Look at the mess in Afghanistan, what was that all about? Where next?
As posters who support the US have consistently said America first, means America sticks to it’s own side of the world. Leave the Middle East to its own devices because it’s only a threat while the US tries to tell them what to do. Saudi, Pakistan India have nuclear weapons but we haven’t had WW3 from them. The US administration clearly watch too many Hollywood disaster movies.

I am not arguing about anything, just asking a simple question. You are not answering the question, just making your response longer and irrelavant to the question.
