This is being done to "preserve democracy", because the Earthquake damage will make it hard for Turks to vote, right?

I would never be so rude as to suggest that any delay would give Erdogan more time to give his opponents a heart attack, because that would just be cynical.

Even though his opponents do not currently "seem" depressed, you never know when they might commit suicide by shooting themselves in the back of the head...twice.

Have you seen the past 70 years of international law, international relations or how civilized society handles literally everything?

Why would Israel / the west allow a nation who has sworn the destruction of another to gain nuclear weapons capability? Especially when it is within their means to deny them?

Iran can attempt to pick up whatever stick it wants- and Israel / the west can deploy theirs whenever they choose as well.

Is it fair? That’s the wrong question to ask. The actual question that should be asked is - what will they do with it if they get it? What are the consequences of a nuclear Iran? We share this world, and like it or not big sticks matter, as do the opinions and interests of our neighbours.

Putin is too powerful? What? Nonsense. He’s not Superman. In fact quite the opposite, there’s no way he’s surviving this politically. In the worst case, there’s nowhere on Earth to hide from American bombers, even underground or in a mountain. Putin is nothing but a simple measly despot.
