Isn't U.S. strong enough not to need to use Nukes against a country that dosnet even have a single Long rang Bomber in its Air Force

Iran has less than 300 fighter Jets why in hell would the U.S. need to Use a Nukes???

Ok. I'll do my best to stay away from "Iron". and I guess i'll stop taking my vitamins. But JFK did not almost start WW3, what he did was save us from getting into one. All the generals wanted to start bombing cuba and the Soviets and they even lied to him. JFK kept his cool, patience, and did what was right for America. Never b4 have we been so close to nuclear war and JFK is a hero for how he lead int the Cuban Missle Crisis. You seem to have absolutely no factual idea to counter that.

WOW... Preemptive use of nuclear weapons to stop another country from getting nuclear weapons.

/facepalm

I think the in deep problem is not if Iran has nuclear weapons, in other hand, Iran is crossing the no-return point in which it´s not possible to win the war by using of war conventional methods, at least, without losing significant quantity of lives of American soldier...in this case, the republicans are which are interested really on using of tactic nukes to prevent human lives lost. India played this role decades ago and they won...countdown continues..

then a few months later a "lie" drummed up to generate sympathy for Israel. Bullshit. This is a country that is completely intolerant of other religions and until their government reeeaaally changes their way of looking at the world, even suggesting that we should talk with them is ridiculous and frankly insulting to anyone of Jewish faith.

The person who posted this video notes that the US should talk to Iran, not bomb it. The offer to talk to Iran is on the table, Iran is not taking it. Biden made that very clear in a recent interview with George Stephanopoulus, you can watch it on youtube.

Many would argue that even offering is quite foolish on Biden's part. Iran won't speak to us because of our support for Israel. Ahmadinejad, President of Iran, called the holocaust a "great deception" and then (contd.)

lol it wouldnt be a nuclear war you lunatic, they would just launch a few of those Trident missiles and turn the whole country to ash.

Kind of odd really that nuclear weapons get all the ink (ok the fallout is horrendous afterwards) when the more advanced conventional weaponry used in volume and multiple theatres of war can cause far higher casualties, even taking into account radiation poisoning to the food supply and generational illness. Either way, u dont need a nuke to do SERIOUS damage

u cant talk with iran... tard

[jake51515]

that's not gonna get iran to listen if we talk sometimes violence is the only way

Everyone here is overreacting. They are saying they would be willing to use a strike as a last resort, they aren't just sitting behind their desks with a nuke button and an itchy finger.

Why don't they ask them what would a nuclear war look like? What would be the aftermath? What would be the most potential harm done?

[umahuma4]

nuclear warfare should be used as a deterant and a retalitory weapon only, not a preemptive weapon, this scares me to think that an of the republican canadites would consider a premptive nuclear strike on Iran, nuclear weapons is a deterent and only a retalitory weapon, and should be used as a last resort.
