    When you say things like “state controlled media” you need to clarify if you’re referring to Iran or the US.

    Also, how are Trump, Starmer, and others still trying to make this about nuclear weapons? Nuclear weapons are state insurance. Their only use is to prevent a foreign power from using force to destroy or control a state. Kind of like what Trump is doing to Iran right now. This latest foreign intervention will only encourage whoever takes over to develop nuclear weapons faster, to avoid exactly this scenario in the future.

      They shoulda gotten them a long time ago. And Ukraine shouldn’t have given up theirs when the US pressured them to.
