  • It's a great tool to blackmail other nuclear powers to be responsible for your own state's stability against your own fuckups e.g. Pakistan, fall of the USSR and Ukraine, NKorea, putin now. Nobody wants a messy state collapse, they can't look away and risk losing nukes or letting them fall in the wrong hands.

  • If you think they should have the weapons, why are you so reluctant to believe that they are trying to build them? Pick a lane:

    A) Iran would never attempt to build nuclear weapons.

    B) Iran has a duty to build nuclear weapons.

    PS: btw, I haven't made my mind up on whether they should have the right to them or not (if Pakistan/Israel can have them, these guys can too I guess, but that's too late to fix now), but I bet that all UNSC members and most countries in the UN breathed a sigh of relief at what Israel did (it's just less shit to deal with), even if it was illegal and everyone did their usual theatric posturing for and against the attack.

  • Sure, but don't pretend it's just for civilian nuclear power, that's all.

  • One side is a signatory to a nuclear nonproliferation agreement who is trying to create a nuclear energy program for civilian energy, under watchdog guidance for 40+ years.

    In a confidential report seen by the BBC, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said Iran now possesses over 400kg of uranium enriched to 60% purity - well above the level used for civilian purposes and close to weapons grade, and a near 50% increase in three months.

    You can support Iran, their right to nuclear weapons (then deal with the inevitable proliferation to SA), right to self defense and even the influence it seeks as the leader of the middle east, but please don't be naive or play others for fools.

    Officials wondered whether Trump should record a dramatic video message congratulating the Iranian people on their new year. The twist? Trump would appear alongside an Iranian royal who lives quietly in the Washington area: Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of the country’s late shah, the U.S.-allied leader toppled during Iran’s 1979 Islamic revolution.

    this is why we can't have nice things...the US keeps making the same mistake and expecting different results...

  • petty dictators love gold toilets, tramp is not that different from saddam, really. I'm imagining tramp saying saddam was a great guy. grifter twin souls.

  • First the criminal migrants, then the illegal migrants, then the legal migrants, then the naturalized migrants, then children of migrants, then anybody with a funny sounding name or skin colour...then the lefties, the opposition, the catholics...I don't know any more steps in their hierarchy, but they surely exist.

  • Hah, Florida, new sanctuary state.

  • If everyone gets tested yearly until they die, this could total as much as most cancer treatments and suffering combined and it would probably still be better for everyone if nobody has to go through that anymore.

  • They ain't rich countries anymore. The US is not a superpower anymore.

    (that doesn't mean that they don't have many rich people living there, they just don't pay the taxes they should)

  • Yeah, they're going to have to pump the arab street with propaganda and censorship to prevent riots...

  • Unfortunately it’s all feelings and no facts on this website.

    Which social website do you know that is all facts and no feelings, please tell me, I wanna move there. And make it decentralized too, so no bozo can buy it tomorrow and make it shit too.

    PS: got some quotes from reddit that show what people who think just like you think of other websites:

    Twitter is funny. Apparently Tel Aviv is smoldering crater and the state of Israel is a mere hours from collapsing

    [–]tigernike1 [score hidden] a minute ago

    That’s what Reddit says about Iran. Neither are true.

  • It is also a demonstration of how letting greedy fools play with themselves is not harmless, because it eventually spills into real life as their lobby pushes for recognition and deregulation. Same with investment banking, the immense greed and grift eventually dwarves the real economy. You either regulate it and prevent mass institutionalized gambling or everyine feels the shock when it explodes.

  • I thought this was double leopards eating his face (hiring illegals and voting for trump...), but it is just one leopard, in the sense that they had valid visas and asylum applications so he doesn't seem to contradict himself, he's simply stupid for voting for trump and expecting rationality.

  • GestICEpo is arresting first and asking questions later (how long is the process going to take? Are they going to get lost in a prison somewhere for months?).
