1. I agree, and it's why I have not been sorry to see Iran get bombed.

I know my views are not very popular on DU right now.

2. I find it hard to believe that Trump

suddenly supports Ukraine.

5. He doesn't. And that's not what the post was saying.

3. I am adamantly against US forces being used in the Israel/Iran war,

that being said, I can imagine that the majority of countries, especially in the ME, are breathing a sigh of relief that Iran's nuclear weapons program has been, IMO, severely damaged, nobody, especially the ME countries, want a nuclear armed Iran, that would be a disaster of magnitude proportions.

4. Nice try to get us to support this attack on Iran, but it ain't gonna work.

Iran's nuclear facilities did not have any impact whatsoever on the war in Ukraine and Trump bombing them will not either.

7. They had a costumer for their weapons

And got to field test them. At the same time make peace with mother Russia.

If you fear US attacks, you appease Russia. It isn't hard to figure out.

8. I know of one person here who is upset about this for entirely different reasons.

Because of their hatred for Zelensky and Ukraine. Most people here who oppose trumps actions oppose them for different reasons. This one is just pissed it might disrupt the supply of weapons to Russia.

10. Putin benefits from oil price increase, not Ukraine

Bombing Iran nuclear facility does not help Ukraine-it hurts Ukraine.

The Three Tyrants are the intended beneficiaries.

11. Totally agree ... nt

12. Iran has more than 600lbs of 60% enriched uranium

They have one nuclear power plant. It uses 3.5 -5% uranium. Largely supplied by Russia. Their enrichment program increased the stockpile of 60% uranium by 25% in just 4 months from Q4 to Q1 of this year.

China went from a stockpile of highly enriched uranium (90%+) to a nuclear weapon in under 5 weeks.

It’s not a big technology jump to go from 60% to 90%. And then quickly to a weapon. This is with a government that has no reason to be enriching to the extent they already do outside of weapon development.

I don’t see how Israel is suppose to just wait until it’s too late to act. In the name of self preservation.

13. Iran did no more for Putin than we did for Bibi. Sold them the weapons. How many of our weapons have killed Gazans?

How many of our weapons have laid waste to beautiful Lebanon? Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan...? Merchants of war have customers.
