    I guess? But where does nato draw the line? Does it bomb a country because it can possibly attack a nato memberstate in 30 years?

      How do you get there from what was an ongoing genocide and an immanent threat? Has NATO ever bombed a country because they might attack in 30 years? There is your answer.

        Well, Iran having nukes could also be seen as an imminent threat. I just don’t see why one thing would be seen as defensive and the other thing wouldn’t be.

          Iran was not about to have nukes. If you listen to Netanyahu, Iran has been a week away from having nukes for decades.

          If Iran did get nukes, why would that be a threat? You think Iran would be interested in putting their arsenal up against the United States? Using a nuke would be national suicide. All it would do is provide them protection from regime change wars.
