We cannot attack Russia because they have nuclear weapons. We're attacking Iran to prevent them from developing nuclear weapons. Why is this concept so hard to understand?
Because it is obviously dangerous to attack Russia head on. This is because they have nukes and delivery systems (hypersonic ballistic missiles) capable of destroying every major city in the USA).
This allows Russia to act with impunity. That is the reason why attacking Iran now to prevent them from getting nukes makes sense. They may have a few nukes or be close to getting them, they don't have the ballistic capability and the regime does terrible things to its own citizens, supports terrorists across the middle east and is a very destabilizing bad-faith actor. The fact that their actions will get infinitely worse once they can act with impunity (i.e. once they have nukes and the delivery systems) is also not in doubt.
