President Donald Trump said on Friday he would bomb Iran
again “without question” if intelligence suggests Iran continues
to have the ability to enrich uranium.
The president was asked by a reporter at a Friday press briefing
if he would bomb Iran again if the country can enrich uranium
“to a level that concerns you,” even as he and his administration
have maintained that an offensive strike by the U.S. last
weekend obliterated three Iranian nuclear sites.
. . .
It ain't over until it's over. The long-stated goal
is that Iran must not have nuclear weapons, but
unlike other presidents he's DOING stuff to ensure that.
I still suspect Iran has enough good uranium to build
a few bombs ... if it hasn't already ... but this is
where not only sat surveillance/analysis but on-the-ground
SPIES are especially important. Israel managed to deeply
infiltrate the Iranian mil apparatus and we should encourage
them to keep it up.
I suspect Iran has nuke stuff scattered about the country. They aren't stupid and they know full well that their main facilities are top targets.
What is more difficult to relocate is the gas centrifuges.
In fact it's almost impossible without a lot of planning and
a lot of time and since those sites were under surveillance it's
unlikely they could sneak a test tube out of the place without people knowing.
And of course Iran could purchase a nuke from another country, which is likely.
What the TDS folks are ignoring is that whether or not Iran's nuke aspirations
have been destroyed or not, the USA demonstrated what our military is capable of
and that in effect put Russia, China, Hamas, etc on notice that we have far more
power than needed to destroy a good portion of you and that we, at least under Trump,
are not afraid to use it.
Peace through strength instead of weakness through appeasement like the last administration.
SOME people WANT Iran to have nukes - figure that will
make the evil horrible West LISTEN, empower the wonderful
Islamists.
The usual crowd of pols who NEVER what to do anything
lest they get critique keep screaming "diplomacy !"
even though that's had zero effect with Iran for decades.
Of late, some wanted Trump accused of war crimes or
something if he attacked Iranian nuke facilities.
THEN they mysteriously insisted on 101% good results
from such attacks. Either way, Trump would be a
failure in their rhetoric.
IMHO, Trump HELPED things. He's bought us some TIME.
No attacked foe is defeated forever unless you
physically invade - and that's kind of OUT here.
You set back their goals instead, hope other factors
do the rest of the work for you.
Iran WILL salvage what it can from the bomb sites
and WILL eventually set up new industry. So, we
have to find ways to delay/ruin such plans for long
enough so that they just give up.
Nothing's perfect.
