Blinken: Iran capable of producing fissile material in 'one or two weeks'

[ESay]

That's just western neo-con propaganda.
...........................................................................................................

What propaganda? That more people leave Iran than are going back? I think you are being dishonest here.

 

[ESay]

Maybe the inevitability is WW3 the moment they do get that nuke. Stopping that from happening seems prudent. Besides, it might also be that the inevitability is that we turn Iran to glass the day they get their first nuke.

Well, it would be good if one side in this war wouldn't just be the US, Israel, the Marshall Islands and Nauru.

oh----I did not know-----this hostage human barter system
seems to be a MUZZIE FAVE as favored as the random infant
throat slit and rape/mutilation HOLY DEEN. Imo---it is that
particular DEEN which is an important target over which civilized
nations MUST GAIN CONTROL

I suspect it is way older than that. European armies would ransom European soldiers captured in battle. Putin is a great example of taking foreigners captive to trade for Russian captives.

Im doubtful of that. I believe Israel will go to war with Iran before they allow them to have a nuke. It seems unlikely that they would have a nuke and Israel not know about it.

~~~~~~
Iran has nuclear facilities deep under mountains and no doubt other facilities to survive should they act.
The people of Iran would suffer the destruction not those who caused it.
Just how many times have we heard in the past that Iran is weeks away from creating nuke?
Blinken is using fear to make his point. He's lying to us again.

Iran can make enough material for nuclear device in 'about 12 days,' US official says

A Pentagon official said the time has gone down from 12 months in 2018 when then-President Donald Trump pulled the U.S. out of the Iran nuclear agreement.

Iran has enough uranium to build an atomic bomb, U.N. agency says

The U.N. nuclear watchdog also said Tehran has failed to offer credible explanations about nuclear material found at several sites in recent years.

I know of no RANSOM issues amongst the Europeans,
Chinese, Mongols, Native Americans etc There were,
certainly ways of BUYING out of slavery by the chinese.
Ransoming enslaved people is a "thing" as far back
as the talmud----translated as "redeeming slaves" which
is a "good thing" ?? if you got some extra shekels lying
around. The current manifestation of HARVEST DOOR
TO DOOR and then create the market ----seems-----
innovative to me in the 21st century

It is a two way road. The mullahs regime also needs fear to stay in power.

Israel bought all their oil from Iran for decades. Tens of thousands of Jews lived in Persia for 2500 years.

Yes, but almost 50 years has gone from there. The political regime in Iran has changed drastically. What is the point to bring it up over and over again?

Let me (Wikipedia) enlighten you:

The practice of ransoming prisoners has been around for a long time, but it became a common and important part of medieval warfare and diplomacy. In primitive times, captured warriors were often enslaved or killed, but during the Middle Ages, ransoming prisoners became beneficial for captors. Capturing a wealthy or high-ranking prisoner could be a financial opportunity, and keeping prisoners required upkeep costs. For example, knights who were vassals of a lord were expected to pay for their lord's release if he was captured. In the late Middle Ages, family and friends, as well as the lord's estate, might also contribute to the ransom.
Ransom also contributed to the development of heraldry, which allowed knights to advertise their identities and ransom value, making them less likely to be killed immediately.​

I am perfectly fine with that. Better them than the people in Israel who will certainly be killed by the Iranian regime.

that makes sense----but house to house random roundups?

How many times have fearmongering claims about Iran getting nukes been made? Building up a boogeyman to scapegoat for the next op is a well-known propaganda tactic. Whatever happens next, don't believe the regime and do not give the bastards the satisfaction.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Then my question is, why arent we nuking Iran today? I dont care if 10 million Iranians die, Iran should never get a nuke.

Because they have not done anything to deserve being nuked.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Iran is going to get nukes, then fund the fuck out of terrorism and we wont be able to stop it anymore. Iran has to tread carefully right now because, if they go too far, the US will go to war with them, but if they have a nuke, the threat of war with the US drops to ZERO, at which point they go off the rails and start doing whatever the fuck they want.

You chicken littles said the same thing about NK....they have now had nukes for decades and have not done any of the shit you all said they would.

Bibi Netanyahu is coming to the US again to address Congress for the fourth time. He wants the US to attack Iran.

The US has never put a foot right in Iran. See Operation Ajax for starters.

The ME is a mess. And the best strategy for any non-regional power would be to stay away from it.

Nope. It's not a mess at all... Just Israel's neighbors are a mess.. that's been true for decades.
