Your "argument," and that's a diplomatic way to refer to this collection of lies, straw man arguments, and other logical fallacies goes downhill from there. There really is no left in the USA anymore, just a right wing corporatist/war party and an extreme right wing corporatist/war party.

Preventing Iran from trying building a nuclear weapon?

Druvius comments on Feb 21, 2021:

Since Iran is nowhere near building nuclear weapons, and has the most closely monitored nuclear program on Earth, there's little danger. Israel has been screaming "Iran is about to get nuclear weapons!" since the 80s, it's propaganda. Not sure what good it would do to launch a nuclear attack on Iran anyhow, especially since there are so many ways it could go south. Iran is an observer in the SCO, and Russia has stated that an attack on Iran would be considered an attack on Russia. Biden isn't helping either, sadly no surprise.

By many metrics it's one of the most frightening diseases humans have ever seen, there's been nothing like it before. Some countries will keep it under control, but as long as it rages elsewhere, none can let their guard down. The very best case scenario, it's still going to be with us for years.
