Do you really think we will bomb them? One reason I don’t support the JCPOA is that I don’t think we will. Maybe Harris would. Biden has no spine. Not sure about Trump. He might. He might not.

We should bomb them. We will probably have to.

Biden tends toward overcaution at the critical moment, yes. To be honest, so does Trump, but he also seems to really hate Iran. With Harris it's hard to tell. So there is, in all three cases, a risk of frustration from the very top. But I think there is broad agreement among both Biden/Harris national security people and Trump national security people in favor of airstrikes to prevent nuclear breakout, so all three of them would at least be getting advice in favor of a strike!
