A war is raging in the Middle East, and Iran is on the brink of getting nuclear weapons. Donald Trump is responsible for this dangerous development because his administration withdrew, in 2018, from the U.S.-Iranian nuclear deal that restricted Tehran’s ability to make highly enriched uranium bomb material.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors in Iran verified that Tehran was in compliance, but then-President Donald Trump claimed that he, the self-proclaimed “master of the deal,” would get a better agreement.
He did not.
Of course it isn’t Israel being belligerant af. It’s evil Tehran and the Orange Man who are responsible.
As a nuclear war expert, Mr. Sagan should be aware that the Biden administration did not take the opportunity to get Iran back to not pursuing nukes, because that would have meant holding up the Amerikan end of the deal and ending or at least easing sanctions on them. That’s why Trump broke the treaty in the first place, because Iran complying was supposed to be rewarded with a lifting of US sanctions and Trump didn’t want that. And Biden didn’t want that, either, and instead chose to further drive home the point that you cannot trust any agreement with the US. And these people are wondering why their empire is in decay. They think they can brute force their way through anything, and it will be their downfall.
Based on the quality of the ‘analysis’ I can only assume “I study nuclear war” is just his way of saying “I’ve played a lot of Fallout”
I have 20 hours in HoI4: The New Order so I think I am incredibly qualified to discuss modern warfare. Why does everyone not just use helicopter infantry? Are they stupid?
he’s a guy whose reddit posts start with “Nuclear war expert here.”
Do you want a President Kamala Harris who supports Israel, but has expressed doubts about the way Israel is fighting its wars today?
What did these doubts do to prevent Israel from invading Lebanon, Scott?
Do you want a President Harris, a former prosecutor known to stay calm and focused under pressure?
You mean the one whose 2020 campaign was so chaotic and disorganized staff were reportedly constantly at each other’s throats? That calm and focused individual?
Everyone getting paid to write something about the election is so visibly untethered from reality that it’s a miracle that gravity still applies to them.
Do you want a President Kamala Harris who supports Israel
No.
Do you want a President Harris, a former prosecutor
No.
Do you want a President Harris, a former prosecutor known to stay calm and focused under pressure?
Yes she is pure evil but have you considered how professional and competent she is at doing evil?
this guy brings shame to the name Sagan
What the fuck does he study anyway? There’s one example in history of nukes being used and a couple examples of nukes being stopped by individual discretion by people in a military chain of command. That’s it.
I guess there’s stuff like various treaties to consider, but the movie WarGames taught me nuclear war was bad, so I probably have a better take than him.
ive read nearly every declassified text i can get my hands on about nuclear tests, bomb effects, etc
so i guess i am one of these too

Iran is currently abiding by a fatwa by the Supreme Leader prohibiting the production, acquisition and use of nuclear weapons. It hasn’t been revoked even after the US withdrew from all agreements. They have all they need to construct a nuclear bomb very quickly, but you don’t go against a fatwa in Iran. Luckily the western world is doing all it can to reassure Iran that this was the correct decision and they do not need a nuclear weapon.
Pretend i did the “isnt there somone you forgot to ask?” and its brandon and bibi saying “i want iran to build the bomb” and Khomeini is in the jesus role
Who has a link to the Hitler/Bibi edit?
Hero
If its dangerously high, its due to belligerence and general inhumanity of the dems, who haven’t reversed jerusalem embassy, haven’t torn up abraham framework, haven’t restored jcpoa and now gleefully finance genocide. And the danger comes from nazis in pissrael, who both have an ability and might get a motive soon. How about you eat shit and die, scott sagan?
nuclear war expert
So Scott, which nuclear bombing was your favorite, the one the US threw at Hiroshima or the one the US threw at Nagasaki?
Real “Smarties Expert” vibes
There’s a tagline about a user here that was talking about how they’re a nuclear scientist at a big name university and didn’t believe nuclear was a real threat.
That’s my favorite site tagline.
Anyways, that’s what this opinion piece is giving. Very hexbear-esqe post.
Pushing Iran, specifically Khameini, towards heavier and heavier deterrence is a great idea!!!
Genuinely if a nuke goes off in the middle east it’ll be by Israel FIRST and it’ll be done with the full support of Kamala Harris, whether she is president or not. She’ll likely stage a Jan 6th style rebellion to break into the oval office to press the fucking button herself.

I mean to be fair, that was actually a decent deal iirc and would have also helped with the US reducing sanctions on Iran if it was still in effect.
Trump absolutely does suck for that one.
Obviously not arguing with your point about Israel being the belligerent, just adding.
In Polish, “sagan” means a big pot. This one is empty and have a big hole. Shiny handle though.
