We are literally energy independent now.
Iran

Even the gay ones?

Let them know that while you're down at the recruitment office joining up with the Marines - tell them how willing you are to guard the oil fields during the invasion.
I'm sure they've got a spot for you if we're gonna go to war with Iran.
And if your idea is to level them with nukes or moabs, then we're definitely gonna need people to go in and clean the mess up before we start stealing that oil - so why not you?
It will be fine

How do you think the world economy would fair if we nuked most of the Mid East disrupting the supply of oil?

We shouldn’t be interventionists, that is their problem.

Sounds like an excellent plan.
Kill off 99% of the population, and make the planet uninhabitable for the other 1%...why didn't we think of that one a long time ago?

Only the 99% in Iran. If you haven’t noticed countries have gotten too used to us not using nuclear weapons. That’s why little piss poor countries like North Korea will dump all their resources into making them instead of worrying about their people.
We need to send a message that pursuing nuclear weapons while threatening America is a no go.
Why would we do that? The only place getting nuked if it ever came to that is Tehran after they fired on Israel. And probably only after we see what happens with the Israeli response. If the Iranians do develop nuclear weapons it's almost certain at some point they will try to take Israel out. They've stated they will. Appeasement won't work.
The whole world would turn on us if we fired first. Your idea would turn us into the new Soviet Union that everyone worries about.
For those who doubt with fracking we've accessed hundreds of years worth of oil and natural gas. We are now the world's largest producer of oil.

You don't think that Russia and China might take umbrage with our nuking of their ally?
Every action on the world stage comes with blowback - things are not as simple as people like to make them seem on message board political discussions.
Edit: sorry van, i didn't realize that you were actually being reasonable when it came to not using a preemptive nuclear strike - I jumped to a conclusion and posted this towards you.
But the point remains, for @Wrong and anyone else who thinks that would be a good idea, or an idea that's ever even going to be on the table.
Do you think Russia and China want to get nuked too? Big difference between firing first and retaliation. And if we do go to war with Iran don't expect either to supply troops.

Its definitely on the table, you’re naive if you think America wouldn’t ever nuke a country.
Why do we have to be reasonable with Iran? Why should we continue appeasement and handing them billions in the form of removing sanctions and literally pallets of cash?
They violated the deal multiple times and deserve harsh military action.

I said there was a difference in preemptive strikes and retaliation. I apologized for directing that comment at you in my edit.
But now you're making a lot of assumptions. I'm not sure why you're always so confident that you know how things will play out in everything you discuss here.
You're not exactly a member of the RAND Corporation, let's just leave it at that. I'm in a good mood, and I feel like being nice.
Their economy is in tatters. Sooner or later their own people will revolt. As to my naivete', have we nuked anyone since WWII? Has anyone else used them? It's the last possible scenario and always will be.

We should really just ask the senate confirmed Secretary of Defense what they think about the situation. Oh, right...

Agree, I hope that is not the reason hasn't respond yet, I personally hope covert executions are being done in Iran as we speak, and then an obligatory small missile attack on the launch point. Not need to make this newsworthy for purely political reasons, we can give them the message without rubbing it in their faces.
That's a luxury of our special forces, they only need a small jerk on the collar, if not oh well.
Bring it sand jockeys.
I wait for this post to be denied for non politically correct reasons.
Scared you think huh? Doesn't matter if I'm scared. The only scared person that matters is Dear Leader who just backed down to Iran.
