Prime Minister Mark Carney argues the war against Iran was justified because it halted Tehran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons. The evidence, Ted Snider writes, suggests otherwise. Iran was not building a bomb, diplomacy had already achieved major concessions, and the war inflicted immense human, economic, and environmental costs.
What a load of bullshit. This war has done nothing to Iran’s nuclear program on the contrary it has proven right the hardliners that see a nuclear program as the only guarantee for regime survival. They never ever will make a deal with powers that have consistently broken ceasefires and used negotiations as stalling tactics. This flagrantly illegal war has killed off any chance for a nuclear deal for a generation. Or do you expect a ground invasion to take care of it?
If anything the one good thing to come out of it is that Iran has figured out that it doesn’t need a nuclear program to project power, they can just close the Strait of Hormuz.
You’re parotting the Israeli doctrine that in the Middle East might makes right. A profoundly misguided and counterproductive doctrine promulgated by a genocidal, nuclear armed apartheid regime. And you’re making it about Tel Aviv being nuked. As if that’s more of a realistic nightmare than Israel completing its ongoing genocides in Palestine and Lebanon and expanding it at will in Syria, Turkey, Iran, the works.
What a joke.
