      Harder to justify bombing amerikkkan's than it is to justify bombing Iranian's.

      Harder but not impossible.

      Trump bombed in Iran in 2017, and he had a general illegally assassinated over there. Let's not act like he was this anti-imperialist president people think he was.

    The Biden admin is going to be brutally imperialistic. They're going to ramp up sanctions and covert subversion, probably drone strikes. At the same time they will lean on private companies to increase censorship. They're gonna do an "operation both sides" where the FBI or DHS arrest the most insane and violent fascists but also leftists. The difference being that the fascists will have to basically be openly calling for terrorist attacks to be arrested while leftists will be arrested just for organizing protests where things get out of hand. It's going to be bad.

      ...while leftists will be arrested SWATed just for organizing protests where things get out of hand.

      Fixed that for you

      The difference between Trump and Biden is that Trump was using unmarked vans to dissapear people, while Biden will broadcast all the SWAT attacks in the WH youtube channel. And after each saturday night session of "the ongoing war against the far left" Kopmala will give a speech boasting their new kills.

      Organising protests where things "get out of hand" because they were intentionally enflamed by feds and cops.

      Pretty much everything you posted here are things that the Trump administration have already done. He ramped up sanctions and increased the drone program by a mile. Trump also took out a law that required the military to report on civilian casualties.

      The FBI and DHS are already focused on protesters and Trump utilized the NDAA which was passed by Obama. The Biden/Harris administration will push for an extreme bipartisanship law in hand with the GOP to try and stomp out protests. Wouldn't be shocked if it's declaring the filming of police officers to be illegal similar to what France did recently, or maybe it will be declaring ACAB hate speech ("attacks on police" are actually considered hate crimes in a few states now). Either way, yeah, they're going to escalate things.

    They were abiding by the Iran Nuclear Deal and we pulled out unilaterally. Not that we have any high ground for determining which other countries may or may not have nukes but still, shut the fuck up.

        If they really wanted peace, they would have kept to the deal to show good faith for when a democrat was elected.

        This is the worst lib take I could come up with.

      Only two nukes have ever been used in war

      The country who used them tries to lecture everyone else on how its not good to have them

    I remember listening to a Citations Needed episode on the whole Iran Deal nonsense but they mentioned how the whole 'Breakout time' was needlessly overused and only refers to the amount of time to enrich uranium to the degree that it could be used as a weapon but that says absolutely nothing about actually building and testing rockets for actual use.

    Its absolutely meaningless fear mongering

      Iran does have missiles that are big enough for nukes though, but they only have a range of 2000km which is nowhere near far enough to reach the US

    Not that its shocking, but I was flipping channels yesterday and two separate Sunday news shows had former admirals on to talk about Iran. Because I'm sure that purveyors of war are the best at talking about how to deal with Iran diplomatically.

      Clearly, the most worrying thing to 'muricans right now is a poor country in the other side of Earth that really wants to be left alone.

    Give them nukes so that we we stop fucking around in the Middle East.

    Starting to? Pfff, it's the same machine, always at full speed.

    By the way, I hope Iran does have nukes and use them against something really expensive like those giant nuclear boats loaded with really expensive planes, or whatever kills the most yanks "just wanting to have college and healthcare".

    Didn't we just have someone in here a month ago saying that we should all :vote: for Biden because he would bring back Obama's policy of détente toward Iran?

    The US is the gun-hoarding suburban boomer who terrorizes everyone about the condition of their lawn, then panics when he sees one of his victims walking into a gun store to obtain a tiny fraction of the armament they have.

    Nukes mean safety. They'd be insane to give them up knowing what happened to Gaddafi and Saddam.

      Even Ukraine after the USSR collapsed, the US guaranteed their independence in exchange for them handing their share of the soviet arsenal to Russia. 25 years later and they're fucked.

      Saddam and Gaddafi gave up their weapons - fucked. Ukraine gave em up - fucked. DPRK develops WMD and keeps them? They're still rocking, baby. The lesson couldn't be clearer.
