    There are so many different avenues for this discussion to go so I'll just pick one.

    If it turns out that we are going to have to engage in a full scale war with Iran, because the limp wristed toothless pro-terrorism policies of Obama & Co have allowed them to develop their nuclear program while helping to fund it, will the Left still celebrate Obama as the grand peacemaker that he never was?

    There is no way this terror nation can be allowed to finalize its nuclear weapons capabilities, just no way.

    So that means war will happen and it will be a type of war that most Americans have never seen.

    a war will not happen because israel has the military capability to stop their nuclear program with lawful government force.

    since President Trump wants to make jerusalem the capital of israel, they will help America so we don't have to get into another war in the middle east.

    Thank Goodness we had President Obama to send them $400 million in CASH so they could build those missiles.

    It is a violation of UN Resolutions. Let's see how that moronic outfit deals with it. This is on them.

    Them is us, don't forget.

    Or, are you suggesting we should abandon our world leadership role?

    I am all for us getting out of the UN, and kicking them out of the US.

    Any questions?

    Truthfully, that $400mill. was insignificant. Iran, poor cash strapped Iran, purchased $9 billion in high tech Soviet arms just weeks after sanctions were lifted. Those sales included S-300 missiles, and other systems which were prohibited by treaty / resolution. Obama did nothing, and Israels ability to launch airstrikes against Iran has been greatly compromised.

    But the UN is not going to deal with it.

    Either we deal with it or we deal with the nuclear arms race in the Middle East that Obama and his pals in the "Death to America!" crowd in Tehran have already set in motion.

    Sure.

    Why would you accuse the UN of doing nothing when you WANTED them to do nothing?

    If you want nothing done and nothing is being done, you should express your full approval!

    It's a good thing Obama signed an agreement with Iran to stop these provocations.

    Oh, wait ....

    We are part of the UN - a permanent member of the UNSC, as a matter of fact.

    You can't say you want us out of the UN AND you want the UN to take action.

    You're saying that some OTHER nation in the UN should stand up, even though we should not only fail to stand up, but should actually leave!

    This isn't the playground.

    You have to decide what you stand for.

    Interesting.

    This is Obama''s fault for returning their frozen assetts?

    - - - Updated - - -

    Obama is not president. He was not president when this missile was fired.

    Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't Israel the first country in the middle east to have nukes, and wasn't that long before Obama?

    The Iranians abused Obama. He was their whipping boy. Now the Iranians think they can do anything against the U.S.

    It will be interesting to see if the Iranians have the balls to seize an American ship with Trump as president.

    Why not. Get out of the UN and let them handle it.

    What is too hard to comprehend about that?

    There's plenty of evidence Iran has a nuclear energy program, but no evidence Iran has a nuclear weapons program.

    Ask the UN how they are going to handle Iran violating their resolutions.

    No, Israel does not have the capability to attack Iran. It's a matter of physics.

    No, it is not.

    What are the restrictions on Iranian ballistic missile activities?

    Paragraph 3 of Annex B of resolution 2231 (2015) calls upon Iran not to undertake any activity related to ballistic missiles designed to be capable of delivering nuclear weapons, including launches using such ballistic missile technology.

    I am asking folks here.

    My opinion is we can help alleviate tensions by not supporating Israel''s provocative acts nor make provocations ourselves.
