Did WW3 Just Start?

Trump had this to say on election night.

“We had no wars, for four years, we had no wars. Except we defeated ISIS,” Trump proclaimed.

“They said ‘he will start a war.’ I’m not going to start a war, I’m going to stop the wars.”
‘I’m going to stop the wars’ – Trump says, as he claims victory

Now the US and Israel are attacking Iran even after Iran was willing to sign agreement that would prevent them from getting nuclear weapons. The pretext is a ridiculous zero-enrichment demand.

For a BWR or PWR you only need 4-5% enrichment. Iran was doing a lot more than that; near 60% and only increasing. You only need that level of enrichment for compact naval reactors (which Iran doesn’t have) or and listen carefully here, nuclear weapons.

It appears Iran was willing to sign a nuclear agreement with the US, but with specific conditions. According to a top Iranian official, they were ready to sign if certain economic sanctions were lifted, specifically mentioning the release of frozen assets and authorization to export oil, according to NBC News. However, the situation is complicated, as Iran insists on retaining the right to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes.

LOL

Trump is still asking them to sign an agreement.

By stopping Iran, they will stop many wars. Houthis, Hamas and Hezbollah all funded by Iran. Good riddance !

Russia and China’s economies are teetering. The Russian people have had quite enough of Putin’s folly. The ChiComs have slave labor factories idle and pensioners aren’t getting paid.
I’m of the opinion the Russians and the Communist Chinese will let the Islamic Republic get kicked to the curb so long as the oil keeps flowing.

Iran doesn’t want a deterrent .

They want nukes to use on Israel.

The hatred is so bad they will martyr themselves just to destroy Israel.

At least 2 of those are Muslims whose allegiance is first and always to Muslim countries not the USA.

Omar and Tliab are pigs who don’t deserve to live here.

The Russians are against Israel so he is as well. :roll_eyes:

No one allowed Israel to do anything. They don’t need US permission. Haven’t a clue what you are talking about with your babble about losses. Trump can’t simply wave his hand an end the conflict.

What are you even talking about? There will be no Israeli nuclear attack. They are already beating the crap out of Iran. They don’t need to go nuclear.

We already saw in Ukraine those hypersonic missiles are mostly hype. In any case, Russia has its hands full in Ukraine. The last thing on its mind is Iran.

I have nothing against the Jewish state. I am against massive US subsidies and arms shipments to support a Jewish state.

A return to Eisenhower’s policies makes a lot of sense. US policy under Eisenhower was an arms embargo to the region and no military aid to Israel. When Israel, Britain, and France invaded Egypt to seize control of the Suez Canal, the US joined with the Soviet Union to demand they withdraw.

All that changed when Johnson became president. The US opened up arms sales and military aid to Israel. In contrast to the 1956 crisis, the US made no attempt to get Israel to withdraw from occupied territory after the 1967 war.

The US and Israel apparently conspired to create a false flag attack against the USS Liberty during the 6-Day War. The apparent plan we to sink the ship, kill its crew, and blame the attack on Egypt as a pretext for US intervention in the war.

Iran will never be allowed to develop a nuclear bomb. Has nothing to do with zero enrichment.

Why would he?

The US isn’t attacking Iran.

Iran was literally days away from completing a crude 15kt device. You have no clue what you are talking about.

“No nukes for Iran” came down on stone tablets from a mountain top . . .

Weapons grade material is 90% enrichment. The demand for zero enrichment only makes sense as a pretext to attack Iran. It would eliminate nuclear power and many other peaceful uses guaranteed under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty:

Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) provisions that recognize the rights of non-nuclear weapon states to peaceful nuclear programs. The NPT declares it is the “inalienable right” of all states to develop nuclear programs for peaceful purposes under IAEA safeguards. According to Article IV, all parties “have the right to participate in, the fullest possible exchange of equipment, materials and scientific and technological information for the peaceful uses of nuclear energy.”

Both Israel and the US have dictated that Iran will not obtain nuclear weapons. Israel is now following through with that dictate.

You have no skin in the game, so your incessant babbling means nothing.

I do agree that the threshold should be 10%. 0% enrichment isn’t really workable if they’re gonna do it themselves because you can’t operate anything other than CANDU on natural uranium. Iran has selected the BWR type reactor, so those require 4-5% enrichment to run efficiently.

When Iran quits retaliating, this round in the “war” will be over.

“War of aggression” That sounds like something Putin would say.

The Eisenhower policy lead directly to the '67 war. It emboldened the neighboring Arab States to believe that they could wipe Israel off the map. Unfortunately for them, it also forced Israel to develop its own military capability, which they did better than anyone could have expected. (Although, one theory holds that that was Eisenhower’s plan all along.)
