Americans have remarkably short attention spans. In 5 years when Iran is widely acknowledged to have nuclear weapons, you’ll know what changed after Fordrow.

I've been hearing "Iran is weeks away from a nuke" since the 1980's.

It's almost like that dude who keeps saying, "FSD in my EVs is just months away."

  • That’s correct. The point is that until now Iran has intentionally not built a nuke - they’ve kept themselves within range to make it a credible threat, but they’ve not completed the project because so far the tacit agreement has been that if they don’t build a nuke, the US doesn’t let the Israelis bomb Tehran.

I cant wait for the Monday press conference where the Epstein files are not even brought up again.
