    You assume the agreement was a good thing. I assume its a bad thing to give billions to a terrorist group who've openly expressed wanting to kill Jewish people in exchange for raping virgins in the afterlife. 

    These folks are irrational and its moronic to drop them a pallet full of billions of dollars to spend on murdering others 

    Why, because Obama signed it? No one gave Iran anything, they just unfrozen Iranian assets. 

    The rest of your diatribe just says this isn't about nukes at all.

    An interesting perspective... are you're suggesting the regime wouldn't (or didn't) pursue their enrichment goals in the absence of sanctions? If he didn't hold a similar opinion, Roboduh would likely say "prove it duh."  

    As to the threat assessment / threshold, it's a bit like Dalton's Law in that the total is equal to the sum of the pieces... and there are a lot of pieces here and most of them don't make the news.

    If you're going to suggest that removing the capability for Iran to develop / deploy offensive nuclear weapons is a bad idea, I think you should at least outline why you think they can be trusted with one; I can't think of least trustworthy nation. 

    He said, she said, he did, she did, and most other historical issues are (IMO of course) interesting but largely irrelevant in the here and now...  and they're certainly subordinate to the issue of Iran developing and deploying a nuclear capability. That's the issue you need to address in order to prevail here (I think).

    Nothing in their actions to date convinces me that they're only kidding about their own rhetoric and if you want to convince anyone that this was a bad idea, I think you'll have to address it directly whilst not confusing that issue with the idea of regime change.

    Iran possessing a nuclear capability is worse for the region (by orders of magnitude) than what entity replaces the current one. That's a whole separate thread. 

     

     

    The nuclear deal was in place to control Iran's development of nuclear weapons.

    Which episode of Star Wars did you write the script for?

    Which episode of actually history did you miss. It's well known that former Republican Guard members provided ISIS with many of its best commanders and fighters. Why would you expect Iran to be any different? Iran also shares a long border with Afghanistan making cooperation with the Taliban almost a given. The f*cking place is a minefield and you id*ots keep wanting to play in it.

    You might as well work for Iran in their state media agency. They have been bragging about striking Israel for the last week as each night their ability to launch ballistic missiles dwindles more and more. 

    IF Iran chooses to do anything else, we will quickly and decisively deal with that. 

    Iran can easily close the Straight of Hormuz to tanker traffic. How will you decidedly deal with that, invade?

    Stop playing dumb. 

    The levels of enrichment for those things is MUCH less than what Iran is doing and doesn't need to be hidden in massively fortified underground bunkers. 

     

    Really? Whose word do you have for that? The rest of the world isn't brainwashed by the likes of FOX so don't expect much support on this one. Trump went a long way to creating this by cancelling the agreement and ending the inspections, so he can wear whatever comes from it. Elect Trump because he won't get involved in wars. President Bone Spurs says bomb the buggers. MAGAT's cheer. Effing id*ots.

    Enrichment of Uranium is not some binary thing, like its enriched or not... making a nuclear weapon requires a great deal of enrichment and a great deal of centrifuges to do this... 

    Stop playing dumb. 

    You are not fooling us. It only makes you look dishonest. 

     

    Enriched uranium is also used for things like reactors, medical applications and research. Maybe General Bonespurs shouldn't have cancelled the agreement that greatly restricted their ability to produce enriched uranium and reward them with a bunch of sanctions instead. He makes a great bum boy for Bibi.

    Just like Iran has been building Uranium enrichment facilities during this time and doing so to make Nuclear weapons... 

     

    Enriched uranium can be used for a lot of things other than bombs but maybe President Bonespurs shouldn't have cancelled the agreement over the objections of every one of your allies. Don't expect them to help bail you out of this one. You may have learned nothing but they have.

  8. Israel and the US will completely destabilize Iran. The Revolutionary Guard will form the nucleus of whatever new ISIS is formed like the Saddam's Republican Guard did in Iraq. You will spend years trying to keep a lid on it, then leave the mess like you did in Iraq and a few hundred thousands of Iranians will die or become refugees. You id*ots never learn.

    Why are you so fùcking stùpid? Are you really going to allow your antisemitism and TDS control you? The IAEA proved it. Not speculated. Not guessed. Not opined. They proved Iran was moving very close to nukes...NINE NUKES!

    You can let your hatred control you and try to deny that. Whatever. If you want to be stùpid, be stùpid. Fortunately, the adults are in charge and did what had to be done. 

    Look it up dumbass, he has been peddling that line for 13 years.

    What are you talking about?

    We bombed 3 sites and left. 

    Nevermind the complete idiocy of this statement as Iran has ALREADY been the primary funder of terrorism around the region for decades now. 

     

    You really think that is the end of it? Iran will retaliate and you will escalate. That's what you always do. The US hasn't learned f*ck all from its Middle East stupidity.

    It is not just him claiming this as if there is no other evidence. 

    But hey... if Iran was not doing anything, I guess they won't miss their 3 massively fortified underground bunker facilities that nothing was happening at. 

     

    Who else is claiming, Donald Rumsfeld or his latest iteration?

    Good movie, you should watch it.

    IRAN WAS DAYS AWAY FROM A NUKE THAT THEY WOULD USE!

    There is not getting into regional conflicts and then there is preventing nuclear holocaust. 

    https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/iran-nuclear-capabilities-analysis-1.7565848

    Bibi has been claiming Iran is weeks away from having nukes every five years since 2012.

    You guys didn't learn FA from Iraq having weapons of mass destruction in 2003. When in doubt bomb the f*ckers.
