@ggreenwald@cenkuygur@hasanthehun What an incredible hot take!
Yes…let’s finally expose that little country that lives rent free in the (already limited) brain space of the vile & hateful who before 10/7 wanted Israel dead.
I usually take opposing sides of a debate seriously.
Not with this clown.
@MasterMaliq Anything that you have to force someone to accept by threat of the sword is an immediate disqualifier. Though the paraphiliac stories I hear about this dreadful Muhammad are not exactly hidden from the texts, I don’t even need that info to decide its gutter.
@GlobeScotLehigh@mdubowitz Technical specifics on sunsets miss the forest for the trees. A "successful" JCPOA meant a flush regime subsidizing a regional ring of fire. I’ll take a neutered, broke regime with a degraded missile program/proxy network over a subsidized one any day. Security > Technicalities.
@GlobeScotLehigh@mdubowitz Sunset at 10 yrs. Then renegotiate. Inspections had limits- disputation periods, no access to military sites etc. But again, sanctions relief, infusions of cash, violent suppression of dissent, able to build missiles/proxies/regional menace while it played the long game.
@GlobeScotLehigh@mdubowitz JCPOA bought you 10 yrs..assume total compliance. Price tag? Hundreds of billions to the regime which resulted in the expansion of Hezbollah/Hamas/Houthis/IRI. The ballistic missile program- actually used in Gulf nations, Israel et al. All that is gone or severely degraded.
@GlobeScotLehigh@mdubowitz We are two months in. We hold the cards. They are hemorrhaging cash, their proxies and influence have been beaten down, and their economic situation is in freefall. Are you really arguing that we were in a better position in 2015? I just find that astounding.
@GlobeScotLehigh@mdubowitz Imperfect situation (2 mo in) but without the scientific manpower/infrastructure, army/AF or navy, steady cash flow to pay their ppl (especially those shooting protesters), proxies as a loaded gun, and no missile defense, the nuke dust might as well be sitting at a science fair.
