Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius - Pretty much all media and political commentary regarding the Iranian mullahs leaves out the very important fact that they are all “Twelver Shias” and deeply devoted to the idea that someone known as the Twelfth Imam will arise from a well in Qom, Iran to precipitate the Apocalypse and convert the entire world (what is left of it) to Islam.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the mullahs’ likely purpose in trying to obtain nuclear weapons was to use them aggressively in order to precipitate the Twelfth Imam’s appearance, starting with the Great Satan and the Little Satan as their targets.
This was not like North Korea getting nukes, which, despite how crazy that country is, was an act of rational self-preservation for a diabolical regime. Iran was not seeking nuclear weapons for rational reasons.
Everything about Trump’s actions must be understood in this context.
It is quite possible that Donald Trump just saved humanity.
(Scoff all you want, but before you scoff, study up on the Twelver mullahs and the fanatical nature of their beliefs.)
