Cheerleaders should at least bring pompoms.Then why are you here Anthony? Seriously why are you even in this thread of you cant even be bothered to understand anything about the topic.
You dont even know what she said but you know lefties?
Lololololololololololololololol
Ok
lolDid you ever hear the quote from John Glenn. When asked what his thoughts were, sitting on the launching pad, waiting for lift-off?
He replied:
"I'm sitting on half-million pounds of rocket fuel, with the explosive force of a one-ton nuclear bomb. It has three-hundred working thousand parts that all have to work perfectly, and each part was sent out to the lowest bidder!"
Well, that's how I feel about the Trump Administration. The thought of Hegseth running all this blows my mind.
...and you will know Trump administration officials by the trail of discredited.Trump will always throw everyone under the bus
So, there are a couple of choices to go about acquiring the material for a nuclear weapon. Option A is a uranium bomb. It’s an easier, more efficient, process but an obvious one and very difficult to miniaturize a weapon with. The later is not desirable in modern warfare because it amounts to a giant clunky bomb you need a specialized aircraft to deliver. But, for that, all you have to do is continuously enrich uranium until you get weapons-grade material.
Would we detect the radiation of that material in this attack if it was produced or kept at Fordow? No. As mentioned, Fordow is a subterranean facility deep below a mountain and shielded by its solid granite core and layers of igneous rock. There’s no chance a conventional kinetic bomb like a MOP could penetrate that deep into the mountain or cause sufficient damage to the facility to eject radioactive material. But I don’t think Iran is doing that anyway.
Option B is a plutonium bomb. It’s more difficult and time consuming to produce, but it is easier to hide and miniaturize for all of the ballistic missiles Iran has designed and produced for the purpose of carrying a nuclear warhead. It also makes sense as Iran’s nuclear weapons program is modeled after and aided by North Korea and their first test detonation was a plutonium bomb. To make one of these, you enrich uranium to reactor grade (which we know Fordow and the other facilities are doing and looks innocent enough on the surface) and harvest the plutonium byproduct from the reactor.
But here’s the rub: plutonium bombs iz hard because not just any plutonium will do. One of the things you get when you put enriched uranium in a reactor is Plutonium-239. That is good. That’s what you want. But after awhile, it starts creating Plutonium-240 and 241. Those are bad. They are highly unstable and if you build a bomb with those it could spontaneously detonate at any moment. Problem is, there’s no rule that says when that happens. It depends on the fuel and the reactor.
The relevance of Israel’s assassination of Iran’s nuclear scientists is not that they’re nuclear scientists. It’s that those individuals know things. Any fool with a physics degree can make a uranium bomb, but it requires time sensitive processes and a great deal of specialized expertise and precision to make a plutonium bomb. You need standardization, you have to know the enrichment process end to end, and you have to know every beep, boop, and quirk of the reactor you’re putting it in. Or else you’ll blow yourself to the moon.
Another guy opting for it being a big joke...
Our coup started all of this. Because those damned Iranians decided it was their oil under their ground. Not Britain’s.
So, your approach would be what? Let them build nukes, and don't do anything until after they used them to kill millions of "infidels", which they've already said they will do?We put their autocrat back in power twice.
And then we got the Mullahs.
Cause and effect.
Another mess WE MADE.
All we had to do is watch them and wait for a handful more years for enough of the old bastards to die off.
trump just empowered the mullahs. Again.
Interesting. I was aware of Operation Vulture but not discussion of using three atom bombs to relieve the French surrounded at Dien Bien Phu.
1. Trump is absolutely a moron.
2. However, it is not wrong that the (public, at least) purpose of this bombing was to KEEP Iran from getting to "nuke", not (again, so far as we are publicly aware) degrade extant nuke weapons.
The above-quoted posts are all factually incorrect. The 1953 coup in Iran was organized and carried out by the same Ayatollahs who rule Iran today. Foreign backing for the coup was not a significant factor.
And even among the foreign backers the US only played a minor part. The primary foreign backers of the coup were the British, who were justifiably aggrieved over Iran's theft of British oil.
And the US put lots of pressure on the Shah of Iran to not oppress the Iranian people. We were hardly to blame when he defied us.
So Iran has never had any legitimate grievance against the United States. All the atrocities that the post-1979 Iranian government has committed, were committed solely because that Iranian government is evil.
Why would you believe Trump? He has to be up to ~ a million lies (lifetime) by now.Why would I do that?
Is it President Gabbard? Nope.Actually it's the US intelligence findings on Iran's development of a nuclear weapon tangent which has nothing to do with The Left™ because Gabbard was his appointment. So perhaps it's best you clean up after yourself and take your own garbage an put it in its proper place since you've come to this discussion woefully underprepared if you didn't even know what the intelligence community reported on.
If only we could add flareCheerleaders should at least bring pompoms.

If they don’t then they’re not fulfilling their oaths. And if you don’t pressure your representative then you’re not fulfilling your obligation as a citizen.
The question that I have is did they neutralize the threat?You can see that they didn't hit the ridgeline, which is where the main chamber was situated under. So all they did was hit the side-tunnels.

I believe there is no nation or state of "Southern."
“A day after President Trump declared that Iran’s nuclear program had been “completely and totally obliterated” by American bunker-busting bombs and a barrage of missiles, the actual state of the program seemed far more murky, with senior officials conceding they did not know the fate of Iran’s stockpile of near-bomb-grade uranium.
“We are going to work in the coming weeks to ensure that we do something with that fuel and that’s one of the things that we’re going to have conversations with the Iranians about,” Vice President JD Vance told ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday, referring to a batch of uranium sufficient to make nine or 10 atomic weapons. Nonetheless, he contended that the country’s potential to weaponize that fuel had been set back substantially because it no longer had the equipment to turn that fuel into operative weapons.“
It’s going to be hilarious when we find out they failed even by their own made up objectives.
Yeah sure, can you show your posts against Biden's Somalia invasion and authorize use of lethal force?
lol
If I could not show you something like that, would it mean that the hypothetical world of your imagination was real?
If I did show you something like that, would it cause you to change you thinking?
Or are we just talking about me to pass the time?
