Iran was "days away" from getting a nuke.
even if that were true, the principle of M.A.D. suggests that for maximal stability, opposing factions should have nukes. Iran not having nukes is too big of an advantage for Israel, even if nobody ever uses them.
Its crazy to see people advocate Iran having nukes. We went full circle into a paradox of tolerance.
It’s crazy seeing people support the terrorist Israeli government.
They have been days away for over 30 years according to Netanyahu.
I'm in my 30s and there's literally video of Netanyahu saying Iran is "months away" from developing nuclear weapons from before I was born lmao
