Only an idiot would believe that. Fortunately for the President. His supporters tend to fall into that category.

Nuclear weapons will never be used again in history. Nobody is that stupid not even Iran. The response would kill anyone who launched first and kill millions its the same old story since the cold war days. The threat of a nuclear weapon is the weapon.

Iran's Islamic Republic with nuclear weapons would be 1,000 times worse than North Korea.
What’s 1,000 times zero? Because zero is the number of times North Korea has actually attacked anyone with nuclear weapons.

Kim has spent years using nuclear threats for leverage, just like Putin. But threatening nuclear war and actually starting one are very different things. Kim is sitting far and drunk in one of his palaces and he intends to remain alive and in power. There is no evidence that he views getting himself, his regime, and his country obliterated in retaliation as some desirable end state.

Iran might be more dangerous than North Korea, but if you want to keep the hysteria at max level, you’ll need something stronger than pointing to Kim’s obvious nuclear posturing and pretending every threat from him (or any) was a genuine declaration of intent.

Or maybe, he's trying to keep American soldiers out of harm.
The last time we went into one of these countries, too many of us came back without arms and legs.


If he can make the deal, and Iran actually STICKS TO IT (riiiiiight) then nobody else gets hurt.
A lot of people would see that as the better way, would they not?

What is your understanding of the global effects (including to the United States) of a nuclear exchange between Israel and Iran?



What is your understanding of gas prices if Iran as much detonates a nuke just to let the ME know they now have one? There's no question that Iran would use one either.

Yeah, you may want to understand that an Islamic regime is VASTLY more willing to use a nuclear weapon than a loud mouthed Korean.

If Trump had told America back in October 2024 that he was going to start a war with Iran, Kamala would have kicked his arse.

What Trump is doing for this nation in the present is attempting to make it better for the future. Unfortunately, much of our population has lost the understanding of delayed gratification.
Understandably so, based on Biden and Obama...
But this is different. Trump has turned the global system upside down and taking measures to establish the US as a dominant and self reliant force.

A small price to pay to keep Israel safe. Most Americans would vote for dead soldiers over Iran having a nuke.

Trump is lying again.
Why doesn't someone explain that Christians are not supposed to lie.


What about Iraq's weapons of Mass Destructions? How many young mens lives were non existent weapons worth?

If the Military Industrial Complex needs money, they will generate a cause.
