  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Iran would have built a nuke. Do you think we (and the world) would have been safe with a rabid terrorist state that proclaimed death to the US having a fully operational nuclear weapon? Should we have waited to find out?
The US bombing of Iran's nuclear facilities isn’t a one and done solution. This is only a temporary setback to Iran's nuclear program. If they weren't planning on using the enriched uranium they have for a bomb before, they are now, and there's no way to stop them from moving forward with their nuclear ambitions without boots on the ground. The attacks on Iran's nuclear sites hasn't made the world any safer and has only complicated matters.

I heard earlier that things were moved elsewhere. Do you think that’s the case? Khomeini put a succession plan in place for himself and key people in the military. What does your gut say?

~bella
An Indian news channel showed a video of a line of trucks coming to Fordow before the attack. So some of it may have been moved, but they can’t make a bomb with it if it is indeed 60% enriched. However, they could make a dirty bomb. Another channel from Croatia said that 6 bombs could not completely destroy the facility, but it would surely stop it from being functional. Some of the centrifuges would be intact but buried. Edit: I just learned from a Pentagon news briefing that 14 GBU 57/B bombs were used.

I disagree. It will take them quite a few years to get them to the same level that they had achieved. Whatever the US did not destroy Israel will. There is no possible way that we can allow Iran to obtain nukes. But you are right in the sense that this will be ongoing.

Back then they were not known as Russia. So Ezekiel did use the name they were back then.

Like Persia being modern Iran.

I don't know what's so hard to understand.

Magog is Russia. There is no country that aids Israel in Ezekiel 38, therefor Usa will bo longer aiding Israel.

Here is a great video to help you to understand Ezekiel 38
O brother. I listened to two minutes and that was enough. It seems a lot happens without the United States.

This is a misuse of the Bible and it is too bad that people interpret their politics with it.

Noting that there's absolutely zero reason to believe "Russia" was known as "Magog" in Ezekiel's time. Because "Russia" didn't exist in any form whatsoever in Ezekiel's time; the earliest origins of Russia go back to the Kievan Rus, a confederation of Slavic, Finno-Ugric, and Varangian tribes in the middle ages.

Of course if you have any source documentation to suggest that "Russia" was called "Magog" in Ezekiel's time. I'm sure you'd be willing to share it. Posting YouTube videos doesn't count.

She is the director.
Yes of US intelligence. Do you forget Israel who is actually on the ground. You really don’t think Trump would make a decision like this based on the advice of just one source? Trump has a cabinet and military advisors. Tulsi is just one piece of the puzzle.

Indeed. She has all of everything the US knows about its friends and enemies at her disposal. All Donald has are the voices in his head.
And Netanyahu. He has been warning about Iran's nuclear program for decades. He hates them and has now draw us into that hatred.

The decision in question is that we should effectively enter the Iran Israeli war on Israel's side.

We did what we did in our own interests which just happens to align with Israel’s. It has been long standing US policy no nuclear weapons for Iran. We just finally have a president with a back bone and not just rhetoric. BTW Iran has been at war with us since 1979.

By the time Israel and the USA have finished degrading Iranian military capabilities their most likely choice will be option three. Unfortunately for them, asymmetric warfare has proven completely ineffective against a determined opponent like Israel which is immune to global public opinion. So option one is the best choice but that is not the nature of Shia fundamentalists who rule oppressively by might not right.
Israel. The US has done nothing to degrade Iran's military capability. All the US did was to strike some underground sites of a nuclear program that wasn't near a weapon. It will have zero impact on Iran's ability to attack Israel or defend against Israel.

A world war by definition means more than one leader or nation being involved. WWII had Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito.
So why did Trump say that to Zelensky who has only been fighting to defend his own country?

Why did Trump have such strong words for such a small player?
