Republican Executive: I'd Rather Iran Have Nuclear Weapons Than We Fail Like This Matt Walsh, Prominent Republican Speaker: I believe this failure is enough to prove that continuing this war is not worth it. I emphasize again, entrusting our country to the communists is not worth such a price. Frankly, first of all, I do not at all agree that the real goal of this war was to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons or that it could actually achieve such a goal. But even if this is the goal, in my opinion, handing our country over to the communists, even preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, is not worthwhile. I'd rather Iran have nuclear weapons than have my country ruled by communists.
