>>508376115>That's some stupid midwit take right there.That's John Mearsheimer's view. You can email him to tell him that. Also the view of Jeffrey Sachs, and like several dozen geopolitical analysts.
>Without intervention there was already a 100% guarantee they would have nukes soon. There is no accelerating that, they were already working at top speed.There was intervention, it was called the Join Comprehension Plan of Action:
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_Comprehensive_Plan_of_ActionWhich was most responsible for Iran not having nukes already. Iran let IAEA inspect their nuclear power facilities who found them in accordance with not having pursued nuclear bomb development. The US and Israel (who did not let IAEA inspect their own facilities), did not like this verdict and pulled out of the JCPOA, because their grand goal had nothing to do with whether Iran got nukes or not but to conquer that land for its resources.
Again, this is all common knowledge by now. Every serious geopolitical analyst that isn't a MSM talking head pretty much agrees with the sentiment that repeated US and Israel provocation has rapidly sped up its nuclear weapons development.
>Who says anything about taking over the country?Currently Israel, but you should be hearing it soon from the US. They're still trying to manufacture domestic support for it, flase flags, etc.
>Having intelligence is a big difference. Considering Israel is capable of assassinating a lot of their top guys, id say we have the advantage. Read the history of the Vietnam war. Those things were happening all the time there too. US special forces were popping VC generals left and right, it only galvanized and united the Vietnamese.
>The real problem is fighting without clear objectives. That's how you end up in never ending wars.Two things here. Both US and Israel have a clear objective, to destroy Iran or at least turn it into another Syria, Libya, Iraq. The plan was laid out by Netanyahu in his 1995 book
