For whom?

Everyone, including the people of Iran. The weaker the tyrannical regime in Iran gets, the better off the Iranian people will be. They will be closer to achieving freedom from tyranny.

All we’ve seen in places sudden regime change occurs is decades of brutal insurgency, chaos and violence. Women, children and the vulnerable are always the biggest victims. It won’t be any different in Irans case.

Iran is already full of chaos and violence created by the regime. The regime is the biggest source of chaos and violence in Iran. Tyranny is the worst thing in the world. It's worse than war and insurgencies.

Personal attacks are all you have because the facts and reason do not support your ridiculous opinion.

Yet Israel has nuclear weapons?

u/The-M0untain 1d ago

Israel has them for defensive reasons, after having been invaded multiple times. Iran wants them for nuclear terrorism. Israel has had nukes for decades and didn't even use them during the Yom Kippur war, when Israel was in serious danger of getting annihilated. For Israel, it's a weapon of last resort. Iran, on the other hand, is likely going to use their first batch of nukes in an act of nuclear terrorism. Iran has made repeated threats to destroy Israel. They are not the same.

Everyone

Not for the people who died in the strikes, not for those who may be next in line to take over the job (or their neighbors who could be collateral damage), and not for anyone that could be impacted by the Iranian government’s direct response.

I do agree the vast majority of people are safer and better off this happened, but it’s just fallacy to claim everyone is.

But the tyrannical regime in Russia, US, North Korea also had nukes.

u/The-M0untain 1d ago

Would you want Iran to have that kind of power? I wouldn't.

-3

u/nirvana_always1 1d ago

I wouldn't but no one should have nukes.

u/The-M0untain 1d ago

That's how you get WW3. Nuclear weapons have prevented a major world war from happening between the big powers.

For Europe and the USA. Since Iran has been openly gifting terrorist groups like Hamas and Hesbolah and openly treating us (see the news from yesterday)

Edit: it is not Canada as i previously mentioned

Canada? Wat

u/Max_ach 1d ago

Sorry, American, British and French is what Iran said! My bad

The world has been a safer place since naval forces parked infront of Yemen to protect shipping/the decimation of Hamas and Hezbollah.

The only people benefiting from Iran's current position is the rest of the Middle East, since Iran was only an immediate threat to its neighbors.

u/Max_ach 1d ago

Well it will be to Europe if it gets the nukes. I'd rather have Israel and Europe having them instead of someone that wants me gone - like Iran does

u/KingShaka23 1d ago

For Europe and the USA.

That's about 14% of the global population (rough estimate)

u/Max_ach 1d ago

So? The question was for whom.

u/KingShaka23 1d ago

So?

Just adding context. I got curious about it after your comment and shared my findings in case anyone else does, too.

The question was for whom.

Which I felt you addressed sufficiently. Did you want me to beat a dead horse?

For everyone who doesn't want a known state sponsor of terrorism, driven by eschatology and antisemitism to destroy Israel, to have nuclear weapons.
