Ok my interpretation is that this was inevitable, whether it was trump, Kamala, or whoever else in the White House, the more nuclear powers that exist in the world that the US doesn’t have direct influence or control over(like our European allies) threatens the US’s status as world hegemon. And sure, at this point the average joe doesn’t want boots on the ground in the Middle East ever again, myself included. However I feel more and more as the years go by there is an ever growing chance of non allied nuclear capable countries(Russia,china,etc) working on some way to challenge the US as the world hegemon. Nobody in the United States government would ever allow that to happen.

Why did he even bother to make a statement in the first place if all he was going to say in summary: President Trump could be making a terrible decision, here are reasons why, and then say trust President Trump.

He likely made the first tweet when Biden was president. Now that Trump is president, the national debt doesn't matter and war is GUD

Just more TES from Charlie Kirk

They'll just find more terrorist groups that will target America and military bases in the middle east. It's a stupid escalation

You dumb nigger.

Iran was THE source of funding the terrorist proxies. Who gave the Houthis, Hezbollah, Hamas money, missiles and training? It was the Quds force, the IRGC, all from Iran. Yeah, you're always going to be playing wack-a-mole with insurgent groups, but for the past 45+ years, Iran has been a huge source of terror.

Don't forget that Biden let in tens of millions of illegal invaders into our country in the span of four years. There has to be tens of thousands, or maybe even one hundred thousand sleeper cell agents and terrorists that were brought into our country. They could get activated at any moments notice

Also don’t forget that one of the normie neo-“conservative” critiques of Biden’s Afghanistan withdrawal is that we abandoned our heckin’ based child sodomizing “allies” to the Taliban.

If anyone thinks either side of the political spectrum in the US isn’t going to bring in unlimited brown people after the latest desert war, they are mistaken.

people will say "they can just rebuild it" and they're right. but a true nuclear weapons program like Iran has (had?) is a hundreds of billions of dollars investment. probably a trillion to be honest. materiel, machinery, buildings and bases all particular to nuclear weapon production has to be built (rebuilt in this case).

It'll take years and the Iranians might not have the cash or surviving expertise to do it. they might not acquire foreign help again either. Why invest if its just going to be blown up before it matures?

Lol!

Buddy, clearly you’re coping here. Hard.

North Korea is an absolute shithole whose main income in foreign currency is the billion or two they bring in every year selling crank and forging dollar bills.

And they managed to build not just a nuke but a thermonuclear weapon.

It’s not particularly hard, and it’s not particularly resource intensive. The biggest cost is energy, which Iran has plenty of, and to build some centrifuges. Which Iran has plenty of experience with and have the industrial base to do.

If it was a “trillion dollar” or even “tens of billions of dollar” investment how do you think shitholes like North Korea, Pakistan, India or Israel in the 60ies did it? Israel’s total investment in the 60ies was around 100-200 million dollars per Shimon Peres.

And all this is of course assuming that they managed to penetrate hundreds of feet of rock and a mountain.

Getting a nuke isn’t hard if you’re a nation state. The main obstacle is willingness to eat some sanctions, which Iran already has, and a reason big enough to make it worthwhile. Trump and Israel just delivered that reason.

So, betting that Iran doesn't / isn't capable of any major retaliation to the US in any meaningful way.

I also don't see us getting into another forever war. Neither Russia or China is coming to Irans aid, and Iranian proxies are kinda neutered now

Maybe not now, but what happens in the future? That's the problem.
