Let me get this straight — you're trying to equate nuclear capability with nuclear weapons to justify preemptive bombing? So intel doesn’t matter, treaties don’t matter, and 'might makes right' is your doctrine? Just say it, Vincent: you don’t care if Iran has nukes — you just want to bomb them either way.

I think ‘Might makes right’ sounds right. I don’t want to bomb Iran. I want to not have theocratic dictatorial anti western regime with nukes. Hopefully also to not have theocratic dictatorial regimes at all.
You say ‘might makes right’ while hiding behind the comforts of Western imperial legacy — a legacy soaked in stolen oil, toppled governments, and genocides rebranded as democracy.
You don’t want to bomb Iran — just disarm it, humiliate it, and reshape it in your image, like every other ‘brown country’ the West couldn’t control.
Meanwhile, Israel has nukes. Saudi executes dissidents. The US drones weddings. But it’s Iran’s regime you can’t tolerate?
This is why the Global South doesn’t trust you.
Not because they love their regimes — but because they see your hand behind every puppet, your boot on every neck, and your smug denial of it all.
I believe in the values of the west. Yes. Are you not? At values do you believe in?
