If Iran goes nuclear.

Iran is chugging toward building nuclear weapons. And the Ayatollahs leave little room to doubt that their intentions are: to destroy 1. Israel and 2. the United States, using those weapons.

It is interesting to note how various governments react to this. The Russians (for some unfathomable reason that is not apparent to anyone) sort of support the idea. The Obama regime does what you would expect the regime to do: lie to the American people and root for Iran to succeed (to placate the anti-Semitic Left) and try to persuade Iran via sanctions (to placate the Jewish Left).

Israel blusters that it won't permit Iran to obtain nukes and will act unilaterally, but so far it is just talk.

What is more interesting in a macabre way is the position of Saudi Arabia. It is reported that the Saudis have an agreement with Pakistan to obtain missiles and nukes if Iran gets the bomb:

For the Saudis, the drive for the bomb is but an extension of the Shia-Sunni rivalry and animosity. While for Westerners it is difficult to understand the depth of animosity based on differences in religion that to us appear minor, the religious wars between Catholics and Protestants in the Middle ages were just as unfathomable to outsiders.

 The Obama regime appears as incompetent fixing the situation in the Middle East, as it is incompetent in fixing ObamaCare.
