So apparently Iran is STILL a threat to the entire world and Donald Trump is the only one willing to stop them.

So every other country around the world refuses to step up to a regime that only one country's leaders claim to be a threat, and they all refuse to enter into a war that only one country started. Baffling. Only God knows why.

I think the only logical conclusion is that Donald Trump is a hero and the USA is the only place who doesn't want such a threat looming. Everyone else is okay with getting nuked.

Nio - they are refusing as far as possible to be drawn into a war started by Israel and the USA, the latter apparently on the whim of the President and his bellicose Secretary of State for Defence; with no clear, consistent objectives or consultation with anyone else, nor any idea what to do afterwards.

Iran's regime is nasty, no-one except its few allies - most of them totalitarian ones themselves - could deny. It's even a hazard to its Arab neighbours. Declaring war on it won't solve anything though. If anything it is making the situation even worse.

The talks at the weekend collapsed because Iran and the USA can not now trust each other, and because Israel is only interested in continuing to use heavy warfare tactics against geurillas. A strategy guaranteed to fail, and at appalling cost to the unfortunate civilians caught up in it.

There are no "heroes" in this, not at political level in those three countries. They are as bad as each other.

I totally abjure that ghastly slang word "nuke" but although the prospect of Iran developing nuclear weapons is frightening enough we cannot really know if it can still do so.
