TEAYCHES posted:if the Iranians are not developing nukes, they should, because if they don't the United States and Israel might consider a war. Actually it seems that Mossad thinks they've decided that it is in fact much more dangerous for them to actively develop them right now, although they are retaining the know-how and have a lot of precursors in the wings. I think the bigger problem with going to war with them is that the US doesn't have the stomach for it and Israel doesn't have the capacity.

Volkerball posted:Obama couldn't even say mean things to Maliki when he was purging opposition politicians. Starting a war with Iran is something he is not capable of doing. lol Are you at least capable of admitting we should drop the sanctions and travel bans?

Absurd Alhazred posted:We are doing business with Saudi Arabia. The way in which we are doing business with them gives them 0 motivation to change. Any attempt at liberalization would collapse their whole social structure. I don't think "public pressure" would affect change in Iran any more than it did in Syria. Both of those governments are going to have to be straight up overthrown. The difference is that in Iran, you have a westernized public sympathetic to ideals of freedom who's government would be a good one, and in KSA, regardless of what most Saudi's feel about the situation, jihadist militias will be the strongest forces and the beneficiaries.

Volkerball posted:do you support doing business with evil regimes, or is it cool to just be like "well, we've done it before, so it's w/e" its a bit loving late to pretend we wont cheerfully give handshakes and hi-5s to literally the most dreadful examples of humanity on the planet, so pursuing an objectively stone retarded policy like putting iran on endless sequence of double-secret sanctions because "oh, well, theyre bad", as if its going to change anything instead of just ossifying the power structure of scowling beardmen that are doing the awful things you complain about, is stupid

whatever happens this deal with iran needs to go through. this is the most western-friendly administration you will ever loving hope for in Iran outside of these negotiations, how would it ever go better for israel? we are negotiating with the best possible partners in this time. the deal reached will be flawed but the alternative is, ultimately, war
