I don't get it...
It's a Zionist in joke.
iRan out of the NWO
Name the three countries without a Rothschild controlled central bank.
North Korea and Cuba are two. Can you guess the third?
The Republic of Djibouti?
They managed to take Libya off the list.
They also got Afghanistan, Iraq and Sudan into the fold.
Guess what, Israel already has the A-bomb, and uses it to blackmail entire nations.
Holocaust victimhood > A-bomb
but divide and conquering of the middle east is what Americans learned from the British Empire.
I believe Iran has a A-Bomb already. They have trouble proving it legal.
Last I checked the U.S. helped overthrow Iran's legitimately elected government in the 1950s in order to install a friendly puppet. The U.S. was lucky the only retribution was that they held hostage a few embassy employees for a year.
Really, that's all it costs to overthrow a government that then keeps power brutally as any installed puppet does?
Neocon bullshit.
Where's the shame?
wherever the law went
Russia. Wat do I win?
Nope.... Still IMF controlled...
Hungary?
A fourth ISIS
Yea! 'Cause dem Iranians have attacked, um, zero countries in 200 years... Sure. OK. Between BS like this cartoon, and the fact that the site is literally unusable on my iPhone, I'm about ready to divest of ZH.
It's unusable on my laptop as well, what's with this damn lag??? 5 opened ZH tabs mule opera completly, 10 make the lap crash. Why does this site eat processing power like some effing newest 3d shooter on max details!?
china?
Can't wait til I'm old and neurotic I might understand these Limbaughesque cartoons zh continues to publish
You got 7 months to get it...
Why's that?
Never mind. You better focus on DWTS.
On what?
Some are against the right of self-determination. It is a self contradictory position.
I prefer the Wile E. Coyote cartoon (Sept. 2012). Talk about your Looney Tunes.
http://www.globalpost.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/gp3_slideshow_l...
Sure thing. Self determination is wonderful if you plan to adhere to the 'Self' part.
Exactly.
For those that don't get it;

Donny, you're out of your element.
dup.
I think that cartoon was circulating in the 80's, when they were 7 months away from the bomb.......
Iran had centrifuges running in the 80's?
Perhaps, but something else has certainly been "spinning" ever since.....
Duh! Pre-Stuxnet.
Here you go; claims that Iran was developing a nuclear bomb going back to 1984:
http://liberalconspiracy.org/2013/01/29/all-the-years-israel-said-an-ira...
Yeah, we have been living in a State of Fear for a while now. All the stuff you should be afraid of... you are not. All the stuff you are afraid of... you shouldn't be.
wmd in Iraq, wmd in Iran.
wmd in Iraq, wmd in Iran?
Oh ma gawd send in de clowns........
I will NEVER forget the day Ali-G exposed Iraq's use of BLTs while interviewing Pat Buchanan.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blnduEgwBH0
Those people don't have 3d printers yet. They still need to use their hands to build stuff.
All I need is a plutonium cardridge and my A bomb is set to go!
Can't wait for Israel to bomb the Persians back to the stone age. LOL....it won't take much.
If the Muzzies want to play with nuclear fire.....I say we give it to them....fast and hard. Let their false god Allah protect them. Like he's been doing a good job for all these years. LOL !! 'Ol Allah's SOOoooo powerful......that's why the Muzzies have been the ass end of humanity for 1000+ years.
But it's always someone else's fault . That's why the Muzzie blows himself up and supports terrirism. They know in the back of the darkest corners of their mind and hearts that Allah does NOT exist OR he's a clockwork god.....he's not around anymore to help them. So they have to take matters into their own hands. Like blowing up innocent people, funding terrorist organizations all over the world.....even beheading children.
I say.....let the fucking Persian rug makers do their thing......and the day they announce they have the bomb.......nuke the facility and nuke Tehran.
And then dare Russia or any other Muzzie nation to do anything about it.
US and Israel propagandists have been claiming that Iran was on the verge of having nuclear weapons since at least the early 1990s.
Because thats when they bought them.Should have Cyrilic writing on the bombs though:
"this side up do not drop" or similar.
"And we have an IAEA report that just came out that says literally Iran is within just months of being able to obtain that weapon...Without a shadow of a doubt Iran will take a nuclear weapon. They will use it to wipe our ally Israel off the face of the map and they've stated they will use it against the United States of America."
-- Michele Bachmann, December 2011
And we all remeber how Israel was wiped of the face of the Earth in early 2012.
Yeah, I remember that.
By the way, we've been 20 years from running out of oil for the last 50 years.
Yup, pure bullcrap
How many cars do you see that still run on whale oil?
I think I just answered your question...
Like we all know that 6 millions Jews were "holocausted" (TM). Already written in the Bible. And in WW1.
As long as the goyim believe the old tested stories, why invent new ones?
In WO1, German Jews where fighting and killing American soldiers.
They just forgot to mention that in every docu on hostory channel. Especially that most of them where officers and generals.
There were 150,000 Jews and half-Jews in Hitler's Wehrmacht, including a Field Marshall.
http://www.kansaspress.ku.edu/righit.html
Hitler gave them all papers certifying their Germanness, so it's all good.
You anti-semite
You fucking stupid
Is the state of Israel our ally now? I don't recall them sending troops into the Iraq or Afghanistan wars to fight alongside us.
Maybe I'm mistaken, but I think that is the definition of an ally.
The US actually sends Israel grants. Meaning, money that does not have to be repaid. No strings attached.
Thats not an ally, thats a "massa".
I think they are also required to spend a large percentage of the money at "the company store" so-to-speak.
The best news now would be for Russia to say f*** you lot, sorry about the S300 deal my dearest partner Iran; help yourself to some polished nuclear war heads. Then Iran says, sure, we'll end Nuclear research - we have what we need to protect ourselves now
"this side up do not drop" or similar.
Light the blue touch paper...
mb they have it and what? lets put sanctions on other nuclear powers... It's fucking stupid to sanction a nuclear power because some crazy guy can actually do something, like USA to Japan. You can deliver nuclear bomb by any ship to any country.
Yeah. But for optimal utilization of the destructive force the bomb needs to be detonated at altitude rather than at the surface.
Futhermore a cluster of smaller warheads of the same equivalent of Megatonnage of TNT as a large warhead may have serves to do even greater damage to a target.
For instance a total 15 MT strike from three 5MT bombs is much more destructive than a strike from one 15MT bomb.
Delivery by ship is ineffective and a waste of effort.
you can dock the ship in Los Angeles port and blow off all city, i don't know why it's "ineffective".
Assuming a 25kt yield, a ground burst from a ship would destroy the port, but not much else. An airburst from optimum altitude would doube or triple the radius of effect. An intelligent terrorist and/or nationstate would likely put said weapon on a truck and move it to a location likely to cause greater casualties, e.g. tall building. There are places in the Los Angeles basin with three mile radius populations greater than 500K, but the port isn't one of them. Hopefully, the radiation detectors at the port would catch such a plot.
That multiple weapons are equivalent to a single larger one isn't entirely correct. Blast and thermal radiation changes are non-linear with respect to yield. For your 15MT example, off the top of my head, you'd need 4 or 5 5MT bombs to produce the equivalent damage. Depending on altitude, as you correctly point out. A 5MT airburst at optimum altitude would probably do more damage than a 15MT ground burst.
I know it's just an example, but megatons is getting way ahead of where Iran is. They are almost certainly working off A.Q. Khan's bomb design, which would be 25 kiloton-ish yield from a 25kg HEU physics package.
.
Thanks for that update from Imaginationland.
In reality, both US and Israeli intelligence concede that there's no evidence of an Iranian nuclear weapon program. And, of course, they've never made or possessed HEU.
Other than that, though, yeah, they're just seven months away from blowing up the entire galaxy.
It's their matchbox nukes I'm worried about.
You mean aside from Khan admitting to providing the technical data? Or the secret underground enrichment facility surrounded by electrified fences? Who needs national intelligence services when you have google earth?
Who knows when they'll finish a weapon, but based on the evidence it would be idiotic not to conclude they are trying.
It is entirely possible that they already have at least one. A simple U235 device doesn't need to be tested. The US didn't test the "Little Boy". And with the computing power available today, even implosion designs might not need to be tested.
Pakistan secretly tested its first bomb at China's Lop Nur facility in 1990. But they didn't publicly test until 1998. And Israel has never publicly tested. So why should Iran test? It's not necessary unless they want to build multistage thermonuclear devices. And testing would increase the international heat on them.
.
What technical data, specifically? I know you don't mean the fake documents on the "found" laptop, right?
http://www.iranreview.org/content/Documents/Israel-Provided-IAEA-with-Fa...
Wow, that's some big secret, huh? Ever think you should have told the IAEA, the CIA, or the President instead of keeping it to yourself? Don't keep us in suspense - where is it? It can't be Fordow, since Iran notified the IAEA months in advance of their plans for enrichment there.

Eh, maybe you should try more than one source? Khan has admitted publically to providing data to various countries including Iran. The centrifuges Iran is using are Khan's design.
Nice evasion of questions.
Better than your zero sources.
Delivery by ship is ineffective and a waste of effort.
And would upset the Baltic Dry Index....
Wouldn't do trade a lot of good.
Like Smoot-Hawley on steroids.
"President Francois Hollande has decided to suspend delivery of the first Mistral-class ship to Russia "until further notice," citing the situation in Ukraine as the reason, media reported an Elysee Palace statement.
"The President of the Republic believes that the current situation in the east of Ukraine still does not allow the transfer of the first Russian Mistral-type ships to Russia," a statement from the Elysée Palace said.
In this regard, Francois Hollande felt it necessary to postpone the new order to study the request for permission to supply Russia with the first Mistral vessel, the communique informed.

Russian Deputy Defense Minister Yury Borisov said it will patiently wait for the fulfillment of the contract, RIA Novosti reports.
However, Russia will act “strictly according to the contract,” and will sue France should the ship not be delivered at all, Borisov warned.
"If [France] won't deliver [Mistral], we’ll sue and impose penalties. The behavior of the Russian side is strictly regulated by the signed contract," he explained, as cited by TASS.
Moscow has previously pledged to make financial claims to France if the first of two Mistral warships is not delivered by the end of November. The warning came from a high-ranking source and was made public earlier this month by RIA Novosti.
"We are preparing for different scenarios. We are waiting until the end of the month [the fulfillment of Mistral deal], then we will make serious claims," the source said on condition of anonymity.
READ MORE: Moscow to seek damages if Mistral ship not delivered by end Nov - source
France already missed a mid-November deadline for handing over the first of the amphibious assault ships to Russia.
On November 16, one of the France’s biggest union federations, Workers’ Force, called on Paris to fulfill the Mistral deal and deliver the two warships to Russia, otherwise 2,500 shipyard employees may lose their jobs.
Le Figaro reported that the union expressed "shock and outrage" after Paris put off the delivery due to pressure from the US and EU, which imposed several waves of sanctions against Moscow after Crimea joined Russia amid the Ukraine crisis."
Never forget that the French secretly paid protection money to the Red Brigades, to encourage them to commit their murders outside France.
They all participated. You need to look into Operation Gladio. Murdering Europeans, like the Bolzano, Italy train station bombing, to scare the Nato/Zato sheeple back on the path of confrontation with the godless commies. A strategy of tension I believe they called it.
They tried out 9/11 on Europeans, in stages before openning the really big show on Broadway.
Yup...hard to believe.
I thought they were 10 minutes away from completion a decade ago? Mein Binny vound't lie.
Oh, those have already been shipped to New York and other big American cities. I wonder if the remote still works...
Ever wonder how the Sampson Option was supposed to work? Unexplained radiation detected at the Israeli Consulate in New York:
http://cleveland.indymedia.org/news/2006/10/22798.php
How can countries still not have atomic weapons? That shit was invented in the 1940s.
We'll be fucked when they learn about transistors and fuel injectors.
Their nuclear scientists keep having strange, unfortunate accidents - like being shot.
Although Israel has never acknowledged it, the country's famed espionage agency - the Mossad - ran an assassination campaign for several years aimed at Iran's top nuclear scientists. The purpose was to slow the progress made by Iran, which Israel feels certain is aimed at developing nuclear weapons; and to deter trained and educated Iranians from joining their country's nuclear program.
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/us-pushing-israel-to-stop-assassinating-iran...
Whis is why they are not co-operating with IAEC, where do you think the Israelis get the names
from for their hit list.
...cough... Iran has cooperated fully with the IAEA per their obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty ...cough...
The problem isn't the design, it's the materials. You can't get plutonium or enriched uranium at the army surplus.
Oh, BTW, congrats, Tyler. My first 1-dot rating on an article. Now take your Zionist bullshit and shove it back up your ass where it came from.
wish I had more points to give you. Yeah, it appears I wll be taking ZH off my read list pretty soon.
Weekend Tyler appears to be doing some overtime
.
Well, it is the Thanksgiving holiday week in the US, and at least a few of the regular Tylers probably needed a day or two for travel.
Weekend Tyler must have been brought in today with instructions to cover for them until Sunday and keep the office plants watered. The clearest indicator of this is that today we were treated to an Iranian Nookular Scare and a USPS Smear Job. You don't usually see both in the same day.
queue the sequestration of vast swaths of the world's population (READ: competition and innovation) behind the curtain of totalitarian states in the mid-20th century. It was in the interests of some individuals, and corporations, that they did not learn about, and/or could not produce.
A smart high-school student can build a bomb, simply combine two sub-critical masses of U together with explosive force. Does not even take much explosive force in my understanding. Hell you used to be able to find this info on the internet before the patriot act.
Problem is getting enough fuel for bombs, you have to filter literally TONS of regular U for the good stuff. Since the "Good stuff" is so hard to optain, the goal is to build very advanced weapons, much more advanced then just slamming two sub-critical masses together, which gives a low-yeild. In the advanced wepons the sub-critical masses are combined in such a way where most of the fissionable material is expended during the explosion.
I had a very cool high school science teacher.
I'm 36 and I feel like I've grown up with this talk my whole life..
Oh, I did!

What's the point of having Nukes anyway? You can't actually use them, at least not against another country that has them.
I mean, name one country that has ever used nukes.
And you certainly couldn't use the largest Christian church in Asia to target such a weapon either.
"And by 1917, with no help from the government, the growing Japanese Christian community had built the massive Urakami Cathedral, in the Urakami River district of Nagasaki.
Now it turned out, in the mystery of good and evil, that the massive cathedral was one of two Nagasaki landmarks that the Bock’s Car bombardier had been briefed on, and looking through his bomb site 31,000 feet overhead, he identified the cathedral through a break in the clouds and ordered the drop."
http://consortiumnews.com/2013/08/09/would-jesus-drop-the-nagasaki-bomb/
The United States?
"I mean, name one country that has ever used nukes."
The US, USSR, China, France, England, Pakistan, India, Israel, and North Korea. England and France actually nuked California and Nevada. England nuked Australia. Everyone nuked Pacific islands.
Everytime I hear or read this twaddle, I can't help but ask myself... which nation was it that dropped not one but two nukes on civilians?
Yeah, but that was a long time ago. We're feeling much better now.
And everytime I hear or read a question such as yours. I can't help to ask myself what were the names of the tribe members who invented the one or two nukes for the country that killed all those civilians.
For the record they did not invent the nukes. Most of the nuke work and design was done by others. But you know how they like to take credit for everything and have the media to push that message across.
If we would do it, why wouldn't they? (Assuming they have the ability).
Or are you saying that they are more moral than we are?
load of bullocks. Iran sanctions are about Iran selling oil in non-USD. Now that its gone mainstream (de-dollarization), this BS about Iran and the danger it will have nukes is an insult to ones intelligence. Israel is 10x more dangerous than Iran and they have loads of nukes. The Zionist hive has numerous insane/psychopaths and no one seems to care much about them!
Awright! Seven more months to figure out how to tell the Israelis that Iran is our new girlfriend, while it's seven months for congress to "do nothing about it" since there's seven months that the Israel Lobby will have nothing to whine about to their paid-for-congress, since nothing will be moving in the meantime!
...and some say Obama is clueless and doesn't have a strategy.
Iran with 100 nukes is far less of a concern to me than the Fed.
In fact the more nukes a country possesses the less of a concern they end up being to any potential invader.
They talked about stopping North Korea to.
How did that work out?
Go F yourself tyler.
Netanyahu in 1992: Iran close to having nuclear bomb ...
Top Reasons Israel’s Likud Really Opposes an Iran Nuclear Dealshouldn't that be "joo have got"??
Israel’s First US Espionage and Smuggling Network:
ISRAEL [AND ITS SAYANIM] IS A LARGER DANGER TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, BY ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE, THAN IS IRAN, WHICH PROBABLY IS NOT WORKING ON A NUKE NOW, JUST AS THEY WEREN'T THE LAST DOZEN TIMES THE ZIONIST LOBBY AND ISRAEL MADE THESE CLAIMS.
Are you insane?
Oh, I'm sorry - are you one of the fuckwits who drifted over from Drudge?
You bet you are.
The Israelis set up the Numec plant in Pennsylvania specifically to create nuclear materials for illegal export to Israel. The owner was named Shapiro and his handler also worked with Jonathan Pollard. Today the plant (a few miles from my home) is a nuclear waste site so contaminated that DHS guards watch in 24/7.

The 1948 arms purchasing deal was the theme of a Hollywood movie : Cast a giant shadow with Kirk Douglas.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cast_a_Giant_Shadow
funny how we never heard about the big investigation and arrests, eh?
When having a nuclear bomb is the inalienable right of a nutty son of a paranoid someone in North Korea, you wonder why a country with a 3000 year history can't have one of those Oppenheimer toys!
"We invented the West by invading it at Marathon in 490 BC!"...
You bet!
fortunately, Israel's growing Ultra Orthodox and Hasidic communities, and their view of the rights and value of Jews versus non-Jews are of no concern at all as Israel continues to put their free nukes on free subs.
Why, I bet I could spend all day on google and never find...

JE you are fighting an uphill battle there are few around here that take time to do little if any research into anything that goes against thier common core indoctrination, they want to believe that thier gloriuos government could never be part of a larger cabal of swine and wish to keep thier blinders fully cemented to thier skulls. "The Truth shall set you Free" only one problem what do they do when they are free? I try to set others on the right path and hope that when they get it they don't get depressed but rather angered enough to throw more light on the oppression thier fellow man is under.. Keep fighting slowly the blinders are comming off.
Solving 9-11 - Christopher Bollynpredictable ADL post on Bollyn conflating belief that Israel's government was involved [with our own] in 9/11 with "hating Jews" with some interesting comments:
Anti-Semite Christopher Bollyn Scheduled to Attend 9-11 ...Note that in essence, anti-semitism is repeatedly, in essence, defined by Israeli apologists as ever criticizing {or suspecting} Israel the nation state. and of course, you can question ANYTHING in histor yEXCEPT the "6 million figure" - dead Russians, dead Armenians, dead Irish, dead Indians - debte away, but it is "hate" to question Jewish sacred victim digits. {no, I don't myself 'deny' hat shit, just think it absurd to make it illegal, which certainly makes it look like Jews get special legal treatment and that there might be something to hide}
To their credit,t he ADL left up the comments - probably thinking that its all evidence of rampant "anti-semitism" - and not recognizing the cogent, coherent points for the challenge to Zio-orthodoxy which they in fact are.

Dude. +100. Post of the day.
Repeating propaganda now comes in the form of a "joke"?
It would be even funnier if the guys working on the bomb replied back, "You've been telling us that for 30+ years now".

A nuclear weapon may be the only thing keeping the US and Nato from invading some countries.
"A nuclear weapon may be the only thing keeping the US and Nato from invading some countries."
Agree 100% - The cartoon is NOT funny - Probably drawn by a Zionist A$$Hole !
I hope Russia supplies Iran with several nuclear weapons- for defence !
Why should Israel have Nuclear Weapons (many) while every one politely disregards that reality ? Fuck the Jewish leaders - they are obviously pond scum & have no intention of treating any neighbours decently. Scum !
Oh & fuck the USA leadership for backing them up & speaking garbage about negotiating peace deals etc. Triple scum !
Let them build a small one ( kilo tons ) thats all it can be, let them use it. The responce would be in mega tons. The oil is safe underground.
Kids playing with matches.
This Iran bomb crap is like, the birthers having been shown Obama's birth cirtificate 33 times asking, "well when is Obama going to release his birth cirtificate?"
