3. I agree the world needs to solve now

But completely disagree that Iran is the problem. It is Republicans that are the problem. Iran had every sovereign right to react the way they have the past 73 years as I laid out in OP.

And yeah, Carter lost because GOP made a deal with Iran to hold the hostages until after Reagan won. Sure enough, they were released the moment Reagan was being sworn in. Then GOP turned on them again by helping Iraq during their war with Iran.

They've had WMDs like chemical weapons in the past and have the know-how to make them again. They've never used them on us or allies because they are aware of MAD concept. They are not backwards. They are advanced and educated. They are 4x bigger population and territory.

And they don't have to win, just survive which we've been conditioning them to do via sanctions for decades. We either eat crow now and provide reparations, etc OR we eat crow later and provide MORE in reparations and lives of our soldiers.
