This is rubbish.

If someone asked me my views on bearded bruce, I would say he seems like a nice guy.

If someone asked me how I'd feel if I knew he carried a gun, I'd say a little uneasy.

If someone asked me how I'd react to bearded bruce pointing a gun at me I'd say that I wouldn't rule out the use of force to defend myself but might try diplomacy first.

Ask any politician how they would react to Iran insisting on developing nuclear weapons, and they will say to you that they would not rule out the use of force to prevent it.

It wuld be a bad idea not to rule out force.

But it doesn't follow that you want to go to war.

and it doesn't follow that you have the same political, diplomatic or economic strategies in the interim as other politicians who also wouldn't rule out force.

The conclusion arrived at is miles away from the evidence provided
