Everybody on hexbear is really confident that just having nukes will be a magic shield of safety for Iran and the world and I really wish I could be so, so confident that the U.S. isn't actually led by mad dogs who would go "well we learned a lot about Iranian missiles and drones the last time, now we're ready!" and start nuclear war

Like yea dawg i hope so but uh i think if U.S. leaders were rational they'd have realized attacking iran at this moment in time would have gone exactly this way. They needed to do this 20 years ago or not at all without China/Russia supporting it (so, not at all).

You could say Korea not being attacked supports the idea but I don't think there are as many reasons for the U.S. to want to topple the DPRK vs Iran and that's without even considering Israel
