As hypocritical as it may be, if you want to build a nuke it's probably best not to have a stated aim of wiping another nation off the face of the earth, and a countdown clock to the point you say it will happen by.

My favourite demonstrator’s placard when the Shah of Iran was overthrown.

‘USA. The Great Stan’

Obviously misspelled Satan

Ah yes, because Iran and its Persian ancestors were famously peaceful throughout history!

I get the point you’re trying to make, but let’s not pretend this region didn’t already have a long, bloody history of war, conquest, oppression, and sectarian violence long before any Western intervention. Western meddling absolutely made things worse but it did not invent conflict in the Middle East nor was it the precursor to their hatred of the West and its ideologies.

Yes, war in the region wasn't started by the west but I'd be fascinated which came first - the chick (western interventionism) or the egg (dislike to the west)

They are a hateful, intolerant lot. Always have been and always will be.

It’s nothing new.
