Found this on Drudge today. See for yourself.

 

What do you think of this? Are we all screwed, or is someone going to fight back?

 

(My personal opinion: Israel might save the whole world's ass because Obama certainly isn't going to do anything.)

Well i live in Australia and i don't think that any one  hates Australians at all but Americans on the other hand have a lot of haters so i hope no one tries anything but i am sure that the USA has missile interceptors etc in place so i wouldn't worry to much.

Someone is going to fight back, because we have learned in the past that when a country is planning something and takes action there will always be a response where a country retaliates with force. So, someone will have to fight back.

 

I won't say that Iran will plan to fire those nukes when they are finished, but the US will have to retaliate if one of their allies is Iran's target or if Iran is targeting the United States themselves.

Can't really tell. I will not rule out the chances of them launching something, but if Israel is the super power that every claims they are, then they should be able to hold their own as well as their allies. Hey, maybe all of the money that the US wastes on its military won't feel like a waste for once...Not that I want anything to happen, I don't, it is just that anything can happen.

 

It is a wait and see scenario if this is true.

Whatever, almost everybody has nukes, big deal.

I doubt they'll even attack, let alone use it.

 

Pakistan and India are mortal blood enemies of one another, and both sides didn't want the fallout in using the bomb.

 

While Iran has defended itself in wars against Iraq in the 80s and earlier back to the days of Russian/British colonization efforts, the last war Iran started was in 1826 during the 4th Russo-Persian War. 

 

Meanwhile, for the past 238 years the US has been in existence, the US has been at war with some state for 216 of those years.

 

Not to mention that according to a poll by Worldwide Independent Network and Gallup across 68 different countries, the country that was voted as the biggest threat to world peace is. . .yes, the US. http://www.lewrockwell.com/2014/01/russia-today/the-biggest-threat-to-world-peace/

I'd be almost half glad if they did have nuclear capabilities... The media have been beating the war drums to invade Iran for a while now, and I'm downright convinced that there are more interests at play with this hypothetical war than the "they could have weapons of mass destruction!" card once again.

 

If they had a nuclear weapon, they would have a pretty freaking good tool to keep everyone a safe distance away. Launching it as an actual weapon is suicide politically and very likely literally, people are watching them like a hawk and Israel still probably severely outmatches them in terms of fire power.

 

Oh, and a very important side note. The article says they COULD build a nuke. This just means they have the capabilities, we've known this for a while. It doesn't mean they're presently working on constructing a weapon.

We are so loveable

 

 

I don't really follow this kind of news but they don't get along with Syria and Lebanon do they? If Israel will be dropping nukes it'll probably be in their neighbours yards.

Good luck getting past the US's missile defense system. I've been to one of the east coast installations, and holy SHIT. It's like something out of a damn Sci-Fi movie.

[Nurse Slava Medik 61]

to me it sounds like there trying to scare everyone because you dont need a nuke to scare but a lie and is there any evidence they do have them and the UN would act too if they found out.

[TheMarkz0ne 962]

I hate shit like this, I'm sorry. The US and Neo-Soviets(Russian Federation) have the largest stockpile of nukes in the world. The US citizens are worried over Iran having one weak small H bomb. Simply put the Anglo-Saxon Empire cannot be defeated! As long as North America and Europe are together..It's no worry at all. China and Russia are not capable of taking on NATO, the Anglo control in the UN and our secret service agencies, including Israel's Mossad.

[ReverseFaller 2,483]

I wouldn't worry about it too much. Unless Iran wants WW3 they won't nuke anyone.

 

Now if this was a Civilization V game, and I saw an enemy of mine completed the Manhatten project I'd be a little worried.
