What Is An "Imminent" Threat?

[Independent thinker]

I literally answered the question in the OP title.

No you didn’t. Give a real life example of an imminent threat.

You tell me, the term doesn't exist in international law, its a made up term, no agreed meaning, the kind of thing Hitler said to justify attacking Russia or Poland or exterminating Jews all these were an imminent threat to the German people according to Hitler.

If you can’t answer it then we will. Iran was an imminent threat. If you don’t agree with that then you have to give us an example of what an imminent threat is.

We should have never gotten involved.
We should have never gotten involved with Iran 70 years ago. Which started all this bullshit.

So you agree we created the monster

Basically, while the USA keep good Deterrence Type I (AKA "providing stability") capability - "You can't attack our nuclear forces in a way, that gives you chance to decrease our nuclear capabilities to the level at which we won't be able cause unacceptable damage to you. And if you nuke us first - we are going to retaliate", Iran won't attack the USA (may be exept vital threat situy). And nobody in the world (exept Russia) has capability to effectively destroy US nuclear forces by the first.

So, answer on your question is simple. Iran might become a realistic threat only if it acquires an arsenal better and larger than Russian one.

There is a big difference. Russia understands MAD while Iran does not. They believe Allah is on their side.

Russia has an actual economic policy not Iran

Many of our lefty friends keep on saying that the Iran war is wrong because Iran wasn't an "imminent" threat.

Screw these people. These are the same people who argue that Iran wasn't an immanent threat despite developing nukes, amassing weapons galore, sponsoring global terror and threatening us with death for 47 years, while arguing that a group of protesters at the capitol just upset over a highly suspect and irregular election were. The same people who classified Americans just wanting to preserve traditional values and law ARE an imminent threat. The same people who declared anyone just demanding the same right as women to control over their bodies not to inject some untested and dangerous (and ineffective) vaccine as an imminent threat.

The same people who classified Charlie Kirk an imminent threat for preaching gospel, love, sharing, communication and peace.

This video is long, but it explains democrats

the Iranians have the material to build 11 bombs, and you say it wasn't imminent threat. You are stupid.

The real question to answer the OP question though is how long have they had the material for?

Chunk is eating. Tippy in the other room stops eating and sneaks over to his bowl while I am making coffee. She is an imminent threat to his eating.
