re: #622 Nevergiveup

A nuclear arms race? Wait a moment.

Israel is an undeclared nuclear power, but it’s an open secret. Who else wants nukes and why?

Oh wait, it is everyone who isn’t a Shi’ite majority regime in the region (which is to say Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Gulf States, Kuwait, Egypt, Libya, etc, because they fear Iran more than they do Israel. She doesn’t quite realize it, but she’s actually admitting that the region’s mess isn’t the fault of Israel, but Iranian instability caused by Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them throughout the region.

Iran was never pursuing nukes to just go and destroy Israel and/or the US, but to play kingmaker and settle a 1,000 year old score with Sunni Muslims.
