> “It was a choice. It was a choice that was made at the start of the civil war. It was the most accurately predicted massacre in human history. We had two and a half years to stop it. We had the full weight and the full capability of US-intelligence-level collection tools,” Raymond tells me. “We knew everything.”
Everybody has seen Iran's missiles, and how the regime does not hesitate to used them to attack literally everything the missiles can reach.
Would you rather wait for them to have nukes?
It is not as easy to draw the connection with protecting US interests in the OP story.
it literally talks about another massacre this time classified as actual genocide and nothing was done.
I don't understand what you wrote about US interests. The nukes you can think what you want but this is a theme for decades that they will have nukes next week. (there's a country that has reasons to worry about nukes because it's within range, but that is not US that's Israel... also last year we were told all nuke programs in Iran were defeated very strongly;)
The article fails to explain this. It instead appeals to emotion.
