There is a narrative that the JCPOA is flawed because it didn’t eliminate Iran’s *intent* to pursue nuclear weapons. It was not meant to. It was designed to incentivize Iran to not *act* on that intent, and detect it quickly and punish it severely if it did so. It was working.

I mean how would you eliminate intent anyway? Other than installing a puppet. (Which always works out so well.)
(Specifically, eliminating intent as an external entity. I can imagine setting up circumstances that would result in them internally eliminating intent, but they'd take time — things like mutual trust.)

I'm confused. In decades of discussions about Sov/Russian nuclear forces, we were told intent was not relevant, we had to focus on capabilities because intent could change on a dime. But for Iran, the problem was we focused on capabilities and ignored intent????? Yeah, right.

. That.

It would also eliminate Iranian intent.

Attributed to St. Domenic. I've always found it interesting that he could advocate genocide and still be made a saint.

Could’ve sworn that was Fulk of Anjou.

But then that shitty attitude sure has been popular over the centuries.

Well *technically* if we just gave them some of our nukes it would "eliminate their intent to pursue nukes" (lol I'll see myself out)
