Re: Gnomemoot: should we get on the record? (4.00 / 3)
I'll go on the record, no problem.

  • I don't see Iran to be a threat to anyone;

  • I expect their anti-Israel threats to be more rhetoric than anything and I personally think (but I understand Israelis not wanting to make that bet themselves) that they will go along with any real resolution of the Israel-Palestine conflict that is acceptable to the Palestinians themselves;

  • I understand how Iran feels threatened by the USA (a long history of meddling, 2 neighbors invaded, bellicose statements) and sees that those ocuntries with nuclear weapons are "respected" a lot more

  • I see humongous hypocrisy on the nuclear front, with inconsistent enforcement of treaties, and inconsistent diplomacy towards countries that have not signed the relevant treaties or are in breach (cf Israel, India, Pakistan), and I understand Iran calling this out; Ultimately, our lack of seriousness on the nuclear front dooms us to failure;

  • I am not even convinced that a nuclear-armed Iran would be a danger.
