@zerosandohs@_Checkmatey_ Exactly, basically it’s a war of fees towards zero. People don’t choose ETH. ETH = AOL. The data kept growing, the market pressure was brutal. No one cared who made the bits flow.
Iran was trying to use the North Korean model to get a nuke: create sufficient conventional deterrence so you won’t be challenged in acquiring one (it’s called the Seoul Hostage Problem).
This has been explained over and over since day one.
Everyone claiming shifting goalposts or no imminent threat has been lying.
The reason North Korea was allowed to get nukes is because Seoul (and its 10 million inhabitants) is within artillery and rocket range of North Korea.
During the 1994 nuclear crisis, the Clinton administration seriously considered airstrikes on North Korea’s Yongbyon reactor but backed off precisely because of the artillery threat to Seoul.
Iran was trying to accomplish the same by stockpiling missiles and drones which would have had the same deterrent effect. The proof is what Iran has been doing in the past month: attacking all its neighbors in order to pressure the US to stop attacking it
Beyond this, they were building medium-range ballistic missiles that could reach Paris and London, meaning all of Europe could be held hostage as they built a nuclear bomb.
The reason Iran has not built a nuclear weapon until now is not because it couldn’t, but because it knew it would be attacked and denied this capability.
So by allowing them to continue developing this conventional deterrence, you would be allowing Iran to get a nuclear weapon.
And unlike North Korea, Iran is led by an eschatological death cult
Reagan saw nuclear mutually assured destruction (MAD) as both morally bankrupt (because of the innocent-body-count problem) and dangerously fragile because it assumed flawless rationality between adversaries…this means it only takes one irrational actor to destroy the world.
Working backwards from the conclusion that Iran’s Islamist regime must never have a nuclear weapon, it was necessary for the US to attack Iran to deny it the conventional capacity to hold the entire eastern hemisphere hostage.
Every European leader knows this and behind the scenes praises the US for this action. But they are cowards, held hostage by their own internal Muslim populations, and so adopt these ridiculous public positions.
This was never about Israel. And if your argument is that Iran should be allowed to get a nuclear weapon then you are a fool and a traitor to western civilization…you’re a useful idiot
@Justdoitalex Yeah yeah, heard that song a 1000 times. During COVID owning real estate somewhere gave you the right to travel.
Freedom is multi dimensional. Dont ever forget that!

Jede Kritik an deiner Idee wird nun als persönliche Attacke gewertet und entsprechend reagiert.
@JohnnyFDK@XFreeze You do realize that you are contradicting yourself in your statement.
Seems one can disregard your opinion on that matter since you battle with basic logic.
@cryptoklotz@Citrini7 Concur.
It will unfold way slower, but it’s inevitable in the long run.
My personal favorite: India. How to short an economy, any ideas?
Von „Die Flüchtlinge werden uns ein neues Wirtschaftswunder bescheren“ zu „Wir kontrollieren im ÖPNV keine Tickets mehr, damit das Personal nicht abgestochen oder totgeprügelt wird“ in gerade einmal 10 Jahren. Muss man auch erstmal schaffen.
