Never heard of Fuentes, I think you pulled up some far right fringe guy

There is very little international "law" about anything, so Israel's nukes [yes everybody knows they have them] violate no law. A country can sign the non-proliferation treaty and be in violation of that. India, Israel, and Pakistan never signed the treaty and North Korea withdrew.

Israel never tested a nuke officially but is believed to have done so. The day after Iran tests one, expect Israel to also test openly. Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and I expect others, won't be far behind. Many countries have incomplete programs in place I understand, but I don't have a list.

wow. Why there are still some Jews who belong to a party so full of leftists ... the modern Left anyway ... is beyond me. Of course I mean the Dems

Because they are against Netanyahu who is aggressively protecting illegal settlements in the West Bank.
This is why Hamas won big, to counter Netanyahu's aggressive tactics to eliminate and kill all Palestinians
Some jews don't belive in human extermination
Now we have Trump piling on saying he wants to exterminate an entire civilization

He is far right and a white nationalist, and one of the top right wing online podcasters. Trump has invited him over while President btw in first term...

And, I won't believe you if you tell me you don't know who Tucker Carlson is.


Iran is not violating anything, they are not building weapons. Israel has and continues to obtain weapons, based on their behavior, I am more worried about them.

Assuming you mean nukes. I can only call this a statement from a gullible person.

I think we can be sure they would only use them in dire circumstances, which might be 'first use' if Iran obtains nukes.

I do think Iran only wants to achieve the status that North Korea has, and does not plan to use nukes in a 'first use' scenario. Israel is more likely to do that, in the scenario above, so you might consider that one sliver of agreement with you

Obviously I am talking about nuclear weapons based on the thread when I say "weapons," sure they are continuing to obtain, firearms, knives, and probably all kinds of small arms, got me there.....




But, yes, Iran would not use them except to have them as a deterrence. And, this war is a prime example. I do not believe that Iran would start nuking random countries in the middle east...

Another inane Gandler post! Of course they wouldn’t nuke ‘random’ countries in the Middle East, they’d nuke Israel! THE FIRST CHANCE THEY’D GET! They literally lob bombs into residential Tel Aviv, send proxies to murder and kidnap, have their children board buses with bombs strapped to them, but you think these Jihadists wouldn’t use a nuclear weapon if they had one?

No they would not.

Iran has only attacked Israel twice, both in self defence (after Israel starting bombing them.)

I see no reason to think Iran would target Israel with nukes. If they nuked Israel, they would be nuked off the planet, no country would do this.

Sure, naive Nelly. They attack Israel CONSTANTLY (to the best of their ability!) via their proxies. IF THEY COULD, they would wipe Israel off of the face of the Earth. Heck, their maps their schoolchildren learn from have already done so!

Yes, every official map shows Israel as "occupied" territory. Iran does not recognize Israel. They would not nuke Israel. They want the land to be liberated from Israel, if they nuke that tiny bit of land, nobody will have it.

If Iran could wave a magical wand and have the government and all Israelis removed, they probably would. They would not nuke the land.
