Extra- existential

lets see if I have this right. Climate change is an existential threat (from here on I'll abbreviate Existential Threat, ET). The United States is the one country that could initiate a solution to that ET and nothing was done for four years going on fifty years to affect that threat.

Now, Iran is an ET as far as Israel is concerned. Israel has several dozen nuclear weapons. It wants to penetrate and destroy the deeply buried Fodrow Nuclear Facility and eliminate other potential uranium enrichment sites in Iran that has had nuclear power facilities as long as Israel. The whole question of the use of nuclear weapons (except Hiroshima and Nagasaki) is to threaten then use the weapons against the highest principles of self-defense-against what? - an ET. If every nation that has nuclear weapon technology is going to continue to stockpile them without developing a failsafe recognition of when they should be used, then what's the sense of having them?

Thats a rhetorical question, maybe even an existential one.

For the last few years, I thought an ET was just about the highest level of threat one could have but apparently it isnt.

Americans have outrun their imagination again when they keep saying Iran can't have a nuclear bomb when they don't have one but it sounds like America is saying that Iran cant have any nuclear power at all. How did Israel get their nuclear bombs? Perhaps they were given them as a gift because I haven't heard of them having uranium enriched facilities. 

All i do know is Netanyahu made everybody in Israel forget he's an indicted, dictatorial personality committing genocide in gaza.

While Donald Trump might just go down the rabbit hole of popularity if he makes the wrong decision, a the American people will forgive him because they are just as bloodthirsty and ignorant as they were in 2003. To say Iran is a threat to America, is ridiculous. Saudi Arabia wasn't even on the NSA terrorist watchlist in 2001.

Let's notch up the extra existential, just like the doomsday clock, climate change is already here.
