The Dignified Rant: So What Exactly is Iran's Threat?

The Undead Archives

I have finally salvaged my pre-Blogger TDR archives and added them into Blogger. They are almost totally in the form of one giant post for each month. And the formatting strayed from the originals. Sorry. But historians everywhere can rejoice that this treasure trove of my thoughts is restored to the world. And for your own safety, don't click on any old Geocities links or any of their similar variations in my posts. Those sites have been taken over by bad and/or dangerous sites. Hover over links first!

So What Exactly is Iran's Threat?

In 2015, Iran did not even admit to ever having a nuclear weapons program when they agreed to the nuclear deal. And after the United States pulled out of the deal this year to reimpose sanctions, Iran tells Europe what?

Iran said Friday the European Union must be given more time to set up a trade mechanism meant to circumvent reimposed US sanctions on Tehran, but warned it could not "wait forever".

So, if the EU doesn't help Iran soon, Iran will not "wait forever" for ... what exactly?

They will not wait forever to start up a nuclear weapons program that they claim they never had in order to threaten ... Europe?

Huh.

Note on site statistics: When I strip out the junk hits from Blogger statistics that seem to come and go in waves, I appear to have under 12,000 hits per month (I take a 3-month average for this).

My old statistics package, Site Meter, seemed to miss a lot and even disappeared visits after they've appeared.

I added a new StatCounter late in 2016. So far it shows far fewer hits than Blogger and is more in line with the old Site Meter. But it too seems to be missing what appear to be Facebook links that Blogger picks up. And oddly, the total in the counter has dropped a lot after I went over 100K. That's odd. So I'm not sure what my audience size is. It is puzzling to me.

Of course, it is quite possible that the basic problem is my failure to use Facebook and Twitter for keeping and expanding an audience. I noticed that my audience size fell by over 75% by the old statistics as Facebook and Twitter took off. I may be a blogosaur! So be it. On the bright side, traffic picked up significantly during 2021 and 2022. I don't know why.
