Because Islam is a genocidal religion that preaches, and practices, extermination of most, and enslavement of some, non-Muslims. Because most Muslims are islamofascists, or worse. Your oh-so-peaceful Muslim neighbours will torture you and then cut your head off as soon as they feel they could get away with it.
Multiple local news stations reported the discovery of 'several' undetonated bombs in the Federal building. That is a matter of public record. If you'd prefer to fancy yourself politically 'savvy' while ignoring established fact, be my guest.
So the point is, that even if Iran is no match, they could still nuke themselves. The Mullah's don't care about their own people, if they did, they would be providing a better life for them, rather than acting crazy. So they preemptively nuke/dirty bomb their own people and blame it on Israel/US/Europe. In that case we still get a global Islamic uprising. That would be the end of all the Christians in the Philippines etc. and Hamas would try and legitimize it and so launch abhorrent attacks.
True, but if you choose to win in that fashion, then you're no longer worth defending. It's ironic, but it's price we pay for higher principles. Remember "give me liberty, or give me death"? Same idea.
I wouldn't put it past them. Then again, I wouldn't put it past Israel/US or Europe. Its called human nature.
Weak dollar, as oil is priced in USDs, also after the DP World thing, some Arabs decided to buy Euros. Also gold going up mainly as an inflation hedge, and priced in dollars. May need to look at Euro-gold or Yen-gold buying to try and make sense.
So your opinion may be that it is just better to take out Iran first. That would be best for everyone, including the innocent people on both sides (Iranians/Arabs/Muslims). Which would explain the Iraq war.
