Iran has at least 12 cruise missles that can be nuclear tipped. I think is why they can make threatening statements against the U.S. and Israel.

Russian president Putin is going to Israel in April in an attempt to lull them into a false sense of security along with the EU, while Russia continues to sell weapons to Syria and Iran and the EU starts selling them to China, all against the U.S..

Is this the set up for Armegeddon? Sure looks like it to me!

Whether or military is in good shape or not, if you Steve or you Joseph don’t believe that a nuclear Iran will not become a threat to its neighbors who are putative American allies like Saudi Arabi, the Emerite Iraq, and any nascent democracies that might emerge in a Palestinian state and Lebanon, then you haven’t been following events there very closely.

A nuclear Iran would be a catastrophe for the US and Israel for different reasons.

Perhpas Joseph is right and we can’t invade every nuclear capable nation. But looking at a nuclear armed Iran with ties to Hizballah Islamic Jihad, and other known terrorist outfits, I think a case can be made that everything possible must be done to prevent the mullahs from becoming that much of a regional powerhouse.

I agree it is scary to allow Iran nuclear capabilities. My argument in this area is that we CAN’T go around invading every country who tries to develop nuclear weapons. It’s not right and we are not strong enough.
