I can't stand this arrogant fukk. We subsidize 1/4th of the defense budget of his little country and he blatantly tries to undermine our foreign policy at every opportunity.
CIA documents are basically saying what you're saying

Not just the money breh. The military technology we supply them with is priceless. At the end of the day if anything were to happen to Israel they would come running to us for everything, and we would supply it. So basically its our war, and with that situation the way it is, the US should be making the foreign policy decisions, and Israel should be going right along with what we say. If Israel doesnt like that, they should stop taking our welfare and go it alone...I can't stand this arrogant fukk.

This will definitely drive the Israelis crazy. Don't be surprised if they don't hit Iran's facilities on their own or with the blessings of certain Americans (they've done it before). Turkey having nukes is one thing, Iran is completely different. Kinda hard to beef with your enemy when they can split atoms over your head.
Even if Iran vows not to make nukes, just having the capability is enough to kick off a war. Stuxnet virus slowed them down, sanctions, assassinations of Iranian nuclear scientists, they'll have to go all out now to guarantee they don't get them. Let them enjoy their celebrations, I don't think people will be celebrating in the future.
United States pulling a Hollywood Hogan?If Iran were an Arab country, Israel would have already gone all out to stop them.
But Iran is different and will soon have the Russians and Chinese building up their military even more. Iran also is self sufficient with manufacturing their own weapons. Much different case than the Arab countries who have all been deeply penetrated by the excellent Israeli intelligence.

I disagree.
Until every figure here is reduced to zero. No country have any moral nor legal authority to refuse another country the right to nukes.
You think morality is based on equality when it comes to geopolitics for some reason, so thats where you'll never understand why some nations have them and others don't.They are from 2012 so yes they are around 3 years old.

ISIS is not a country so I don't understand how it breaks my argument. My logic is you have no moral ground to restrain the access to nukes a sovereign country when you're part of the club who have them. If the USA and Europe had no nukes, I'd be all against Iran having it too but who is the USA to tell Iran not to have it ? Is Iran a American state ? So why the hell should they listen ? At some point, leaders need to lead by example.
I don't trust them not because they're "brown" but because they're muslim.Bu bu but, they are not rational like we are. We can't trust brown Muslims to exercise reason and judgement.
Did you seriously type this and just run that specious wall logic?Of course morality is irrelevant and that's also why restricting the nuke clubs doesn't stand either.
Written like someone who has no grasp of the REAL world.Why doing so if not for the moral aspect to fight against nuclear proliferation and avoid world destruction ?
Theres no hypocrisy on the world stage. Its get down, or lay down. So no, I don't know why its wrong to have inequality in this regard.My comparison was simply to highlight the hypocrisy when it comes to nukes and how it is hypocritical to deny the access to nukes while at the same time having a gang of them.
Because...this is the case.And really, restricting the access to the club is even more hypocritical because it's simply stating that there are different classes of countries and only a few of them have all the rights and the power to dictate rules and determine rights for the rest. And I'm not talking about the USA alone, France (through Fabius) was one of the most reluctant to that deal while having hundreds of nukes.
You're also talking about a situation that doesn't exist, so keep playing fantasy.I'm playing devil's advocate obviously and I agree that nobody should have nuclear weaponry, I simply find hypocritical to dictate rules while being above them.
I don't think people understand the sort of state-sponsored bullshyt Iran does around the worldEh, people over here don't like them because they've been told not to like them. We're holding a grudge from the seventies and our biggest ally in the ME doesn't like them, so we're not supposed to be involved with them at all.
I'm not saying their government is peachy, but it's a democracy (even if the Ayatollah has final say), it's shiite which seems to be a lot less batshyt crazy, and they have a pretty rich history of innovation and culture. Its women don't have to cover their faces and they even hold office in Iran. The populous is pretty pro-west also.
I'm glad we're finally starting to reevaluate our relationship with them. I think this is a very important step moving forward.
Did you just learn about WWII?Whats hilarious is that the two countries had a whole fake Cold War as a reason to stockpile arms and nuclear weapons, and the two will never engage each other in military conflict. Russia has been the ally of the Western European countries in every World War for a reason.
Iran needs new leaders and it can't get those leaders if they get nukes.I agree with all of that. My views opened up when my cousin married a Persian girl. Thats why I hope this deal works and Iran is working to become a global partner. However, it would be silly to ignore the history and believe everything Iran is saying to be accurate. Can't put all your eggs in one basket kind of thing.
How long are you going to bytch about some shyt that happened 60+ years ago?Oh God, another fukking mindless drone.
US overthrow of a democratically elected leader was what started this whole beef. And you want to talk about terror? How about the US arming of Iraq and complicity through silence of the use of biological weapons against Iran.
What of the constant threats to bomb Iran coming from the U.S. and Iran ever other election year?
All you chicken hawk war mongers can eat a dikk. For real.
This could also be applied to just about all of Western Europe.I can't stand this arrogant fukk. We subsidize 1/4th of the defense budget of his little country and he blatantly tries to undermine our foreign policy at every opportunity.
