That's not what he said. He said that Biden might have bombed the nuclear facility. He said that Biden wouldn't have done the things after, including the war.

"But we – he said, we obliterated their nuclear program. The question then is not about what he did in June. This war we were in now did not attack the nuclear facilities again. This was not about the nuclear."

And that's why I was supportive of President Trump joining in, in June to take the strikes that we had thought internally in the Biden administration we may have to take if there was a second term. We thought that the spring, summer of 2025 was probably – we may have to be there in the same place.

As I said, that's bombing the nuclear facility. That isn't the war that started months later.

"He was going to launch a totally different illegal war!"

That wasn't a war. The US didn't send troops to Iran or bomb any schools. The Strait of Hormuz wasn't closed. Iran got caught doing something it was hiding and accepted the outcome.

I don't know if you're aware of this. But bombing a sovereign nation is an act of war.

Also you have received a 1 year ban for warmongering, if you want it lifted DM me the definition of an act of war and then explain to me in 500 words or less how bombing energy assets within Iran is does not fit that definition.

If bombing a nuclear facility is a holocaust, sure.

Cool, imma head out and bomb Three Mile Island, no problem with that?

Just to be clear, are you deliberately confusing underground enrichment facilities with power generation facilities, or do you genuinely not understand the difference? I can help you either way.

There's no skin off your back if you just accept that the source was misleading. Check primary sources. Lesson learned.

Oh, OK, so it's fine if I bomb Los Alamos, but not Three Mile Island?

Trying to understand exactly where this difference is, since it sure isn't international law.
