hmm

I don;t buy the idea the people ever see a drop of the money but otherwie I'm kinda with you

the sanctions date back to the hostage crisis i think

I don’t care if Iran has nuclear weapons. It doesn’t make the us less safe.

1979-80

Psssst bomb iran even the beach boys agree

Mutually assured destruction still holds

I wouldn't know that far back spader

a lot of trading partners over there salacious cat

@Legalize His citation is that he thinks that Iran are good faith actors.

and we put nukes on planes

wonder what happens if you shoot it down

Pay protection money else we screw over our neighbors. Good policy.

Which is fucking ridiculous, but there it is.

@yuma_8 more like give us back our money

Give us back? Did we borrow money from them?

pallets of cash

I don’t understand why people are so afraid of Iran having nuclear weapons.

@wolfman1911 I don't, but I also don't think fking over a population is worth it. America has a bad tendency to just make countries worse

In regard to fusion bombs. They require a fission bomb as the detenator so crashing one that is not armed would probably go ok

@yuma_8 frozen assets I believe

You said that you believe that they are only working on nukes because we cancelled the deal. I don't see how you can come to that conclusion without believing that they are acting in good faith.

@Joe_Limon right. They just don’t explode that easily. They have to be armed.

He's probably citing what happened in the Sum of All Fears.

God I miss when Clancy wrote his own books

and when he was alive

@wolfman1911 some fictional story?

Yeah

I don’t care about imaginary threats.

In that book, during the six day war an Israeli jet was accidentally sent out carrying a nuke and then got shot down, and then decades later the bad guys found and recovered the nuke, armed it and used it against the US.

@wolfman1911 ok.

They can threaten anything they want. That doesn't mean that they haven't been working on it all this time. Shock of all shocks, the Iranians might be lying.

ah you're right

seems to need to be armed

If Iran nukes anyone then they will be wiped off the face of the earth.

Nuclear bombs are like putting giant beware of dog signs on the country

They are meant to be a deterrent.

plus we've suspected for 30 years the Israelis have nukes

Iran only seeks nukes for sovereignty and the power to ensure they don't get fucked in trade wars.
