I would be of the opinion that a nuclear backed Iran is less dangerous to the middle east and the world than Israel is. Iran's politics and involvements in the region are defensive in nature, designed to shore up the legitimacy of the regime and maintain the intergrity of the country and its borders. Israel, on the other hand is wholly aggressive, currently expanding its territory at the expense of Palestine, Lebanon and Syria and eyeing lands further afield in Arabia and Mesopotamia. The river meant in the original zionist formulation of "from the river to the sea" is not the Jordan but the Tigris.
Well I don't know. While I do know that Iran hasn't overtly gone around attacking other countries recently, as Israel has, but I don't know that nukes are any safer, in general, with Iran. In my book, both countries are crazies. And neither should be allowed to have, or to keep, nukes.
I'm of the view that in order for any kind of justness, of justice, of fairness, to obtain, then Iran must also be allowed to defend itself with nukes at the standby, as Israel has and does. Or else Israel should be sanctioned into starvation to get them to get rid of their nukes and comply with global nuclear norms. ...But I also realize that in a world where, on actually attacking other sovereign nations, and actually committing genocide, and actually committing war crimes, Israel, far from being sanctioned, is actually supported with money and weapons and actually going to war on their side, in such a world the expectation of "justice" is silly. ..."We" are no different than Russia, and Putin: just that we are who we are, and will hurt when our countries are bombed (as we don't hurt when others are bombed and killed and genocided, because we are bereft of human empathy, outside of "our" tribe, however defined); and so we do what we do, as long as we are able to, just like Putin does.
Agreed, though, the crazy psychopath helming Israel at this moment does appear way more desperate and dangerous, than the crazy psychopath helming Iran at this moment. As at this moment, certainly. Agreed as far as that much.
