[ANNOUNCEMENT] Q&A Saturday
A reoccuring segment with readers determining the agenda
This is a reader-supported publication. I give it all away for free but could really use your support if you want me to keep doing this.
Plan remains the same:
Submit your question(s) as a comment on this post
If there are enough questions by 10am Eastern Friay, I’ll make my answering of those questions my Substack post for the next day.
Remember: there are no stupid questions, only stupid answers, so zero risk for you, the reader.
With the Iran situation, should we have offered to protect them with our nuclear umbrella?
My reasoning is during the Cold War, Iran provided the bases for our surveillance flights and basing for strategic weapons.
Maybe that combined with economic support, would have been enough to have them back away from pursuing a nuclear weapon?
You have previously said that Iran could get a nuclear bomb and it would stabilize the Middle East. (or at least that's my recollection of it).
Do you still think that?
Also, do you think taking out Iran's nuclear capability as well as their military capability is wise?
Will it lead to a more stable ME or larger conflict?
