The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

And now she, of course, would never allow Iran to acquire a nuclear bomb. And now someone actually made that virtually impossible after this operation. I truly don't understand why Democrats can't even acknowledge that this has made the world more safe and more secure, you know, not just all of us, but not just especially the region as well, too.

Fetterman's just operating off a false premise.

How has this made it virtually impossible for Iran to acquire a nuclear bomb? They're in not much of a different position now than they were a few months ago, after we had completely destroyed ("obliterated") their then-existing nuclear facilities. They're not under any different economic sanctions going forward. They're not under any different technological controls than they were going forward. They don't have any greater impediments to obtaining centrifuge or other nuclear technology going forward.

So if they posed a danger to restart and rebuild their nuclear program before we went in two weeks ago, why will they pose any less of a danger to restart and rebuild their nuclear program once we stop actually bombing them?
