Let us get a few things clear.
First, Iran was not anywhere close to building a nuclear weapon. It is more than just enriching uranium. The trigger mechanism is a beast to figure out.
Second, yes, Iran had uranium processed to a 60% enrichment level. Most of it from the Tehran Research Reactor whose primary purpose has always been medical production. Iran treats almost a million cancer patients a year with uranium based treatments. They have ever right to process uranium to that level.
Under the Obama agreement France was supplying that medical grade uranium. Trump stopped it when he nixed the agreement. You have to understand, that really left Iran with no choice, or they let thousands of their citizens die.
And just scanning the news. The Trump administration is now claiming Iran turned down their deal. That was not what my sources were telling me. I heard they agreed to all terms and that included, you guessed it, free medical grade uranium, and even nuclear fuel.
And this whole sponsor of terror thing. It doesn’t make sense. Sure, they help Hamas, but damn, nothing like Oman and Bahrain. The reality is, the government, nor damn near anyone else in Iran, doesn’t have any money.
Then there is women’s rights. That one is damn comical. Hell, women just got the right to drive a damn car in Saudi Arabia, they been driving for years in Iran. They work, many of them in both professional and civil positions, some even members of Iran’s Congress. Oh wait, yes, they have a Congress.
This was a war of choice. I submit the following, and granted, I should have been paying attention.

In some ways, I was. Pulled completely out of the market, went all cash. But I honestly never expected this. I got early word of the missile production capacity, it was in the works for months. Suffice it to say, my son is busier than a one legged man in an ass-kickin contest. His wife made the comment, his missiles were going to kill us all.
I don’t know, maybe this really is the end times, like the generals say. If it were me, well Putin should smell blood in the water. Trump done shot his load, five years of Tomahawk missile production in three days? Air Force at critical readiness level. Biggest missile shortage, air-to-air. Maybe the Kurds are our best hope.
But make no mistake about it. This is a war of choice. Don’t know if it is just about using those missiles, spending those millions, with the bonus of some huge ass natural gas reserves. Or if it just tail wag the dog.
