Fact - US has 7100 nuclear weapons and Iran has zero.
Where the fuck does Zero Hedge get its warmongering Neocon "cartoons?"
http://www.armscontrol.org/factsheets/Nuclearweaponswhohaswhat
Fact- the US has a punk ass idiot homosexual making deals and telling everyone "climate change is our biggest threat" His wife has a dick and Iran just kicked his dumb ass Putin style.
Where is the Trannie? They seem to be hiding he/she/it for a couple of months now.
Did the critter throw a hissy fit?
The she-man called Michelle is spending your tax dollars like it's going out of style
Tax dollars mean nothing, other than a duplicitous way to keep you in line, when Mrs. Debtfire can crank out out a few cool trillion in the blink of her eye, then launder it through to foreign banks.
Never use 'our tax dollars' again. They're virtually irrelevent as a consideration about gov spending.
the MIC needs countries like Iran, N. Korea, etc. and terrorists created by the CIA so that they can keep on making and selling new weapon systems, missiles, and jets to everyone else. Simple as that.
This is no joke - Obama is bringing a Tranny, a pro abortion Nun, and two openly gay priests to meet the Pope.
http://www.virtueonline.org/episcopal-bishop-gene-robinson-invited-presi...
Oh that BHO is incorrigible! He's quite the rapscallion. I wish someone would tape a paper to his back saying "nuke me."
A gay nun, two gay priests, and the President of the United States walk into a bar.
"Where is the Trannie?"
She's/He's having a penis augmentation at Barack's request
You fucking moron Obama is responsible for none of that. HE. IS. A. PUPPET.
A very willing puppet.
So were bush, Clinton, and Reagan.
Pictures or I call bullshit.
You must be hanging very tight and intimate with that pair to know such salacious details, la.
Fact - All you need is 1 brother.
That's what I thought too JO. And how many nukes does Israel have? Probably hundreds.
This fear mongering bullshit about Iran is getting very stale. They havent attacked anyone in 200 years.
Only if you don't count their own citizens.
If we were to make a bet as to how many Iranians were killed by their government in the past 10 years vs. how many Americans were killed by our government in the past 10 months, which side would you lay your money on as being the higher figure?
And Americans/Jews/Europeans etc etc etc....
After all they are openly (not denying) sponsoring Hamas and Hezbollah.....
So all they have to so is pay others to do it for them to be ok in your book?
It seems to be ok for the US/UK et al. The citizens of these fine democracies, mine included, must think it's okay since I don't hear many voices complaining. I guess the ol' shoe feels a little tight when placed on the other foot.
Piggy:
Well, unless you consider Iraq, or Pakistan or Hezb'Allah, or ...
Sorry, wrong word. Invaded is what I meant.
Check your facts....
They have attacked Americans/Jews/Europeans etc etc etc....
I have buddies killed by weapons from Iran you fucking MORON!!!!
They are openly (not denying) sponsoring Hamas and Hezbollah.....
Oh I see, use a different tactic to avoid answering my clear historical statement about Iranian troops invading another country. Funny you completely ignore the millions of dead and injured Afghani's, Iraqi's, Lybians, Syrians and Palestinians at the hands of American/Israeli/European forces. And Im talking about innocent civilians you fuckan meathead.
You brainwashed dolts and hasbara trolls really need to up your game.
You are a propaganda-spewing self-righteous meat puppet who doesn't even know whose hand is up your ass.
The Iranian troops didn't even wait 24 hours after the British had crossed the Straight of Hormuz before attacking their neighbors and seizing territory. 200 years... you and Hedgeless need to up your games if want to be taken seriously.
And while you are upping your game, you might want kiss Obama's ass... since the USSA haven't invaded any countries under his reign, unless you want to count proxies and mercenaries for both the American and Iranian sides.
It's a war. The States are the bad guys.
Unless you count the Kuds forces in Iraq, and the support to Hamas and Hezbollah.
I understand the Jew hating around here, but get the Iranian dick out of your mouth and be intellectually honest. They have been at war with us since 1979.
Intellectually honest? The US and CIA overthrew their democratically elected govt in the 1950's. What do you think caused the Iranian Revolution in 1979? Answer? The brutal dictatorship of the US puppet, the Shah.
Maybe you should read some books or watch a few videos of life in Iran sometime and actually learn something about their way of life and culture instead of talking out of your ass.
I am quite familiar with Iran and their culture.
So, because the CIA did something sixty years ago, it's OK for them to sponsor terrorist attacks now? You must be an Arab. You guys are still pissed off about getting kicked out of Jacobs camp back in the day.
And I know they ar Persians.
And don't forget how peaceful Iraq was under Saddam and sons. He won election time after time with huge margins, nobody else even came close. And they had a VERY low crime rate and minimal homosexual population to boot....just like Iran. Of course there were those Iraqis who were apposed to Saddam and he unfortunately had to gas a few thousand of them, but other than that, he and his sons were loved by one and all.
Yes, the whole middle east would be a complete love fest if not for America and its freedom loving interventions.
WE have taken a peace loving group of people centered about a religion of peace and converted them into ISIS.
To make proper amens we should bring hundreds of thousands of those who we have offended to live in our towns and communities. Treat them with love and respect. Invite them to make love to our daughters, and build a temple to honor their prophet. I'm sure, if we do all that, they will have no choice but to abandon their hatred of us. And if we could simply destroy our weapons of offense and defense as an ultimate act of contrition, or better yet simply give them our weapons, surely that would do it. Surely, after all of that, we could ALL live in peace.
Surely
Iran hasn't attacked anyone? That is one dumbshit thing to say. Iran kills daily and has killed thousands this past decade alone. Every fucking day. They just do it slyly and use surrogates.
Can you provide any sources of information on who Iran has attacked. One link will do..........
From our friends at Wikipedia...
Estimates as to the size of the Israeli nuclear arsenal vary between 75 and 400 nuclear warheads. It is estimated that the Israel nuclear deterrent force has the ability to deliver them by intermediate-range ballistic missile, intercontinental ballistic missile, aircraft, and submarine-launched cruise missile. The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute estimates that Israel has approximately 80 intact nuclear weapons, of which 50 are for delivery by Jericho II medium-range ballistic missiles and 30 are gravity bombs for delivery by aircraft.
I personally prefer the SIPRI number myself. They tend to do well at getting the correct count for weapon sales around the globe...
Sooo... Are you pro Iran having nukes?
guessin' that is a question that can't be asked.
Fact, one nuke in Iran can kill millions even even we had 100,000 nukes, shit head. Fact, Iran has openly in the view of the entire world said their goal is genocide of another nation. I sure as hell hope you have help pulling your head from your ass. It's really lodged in.
Fact, Iran has openly in the view of the entire world said their goal is genocide of another nation.
No, that's not a fact at all, "shit head". Go on, look up Ahmedinnerjacket's original speech, I dare you; we'll wait.
He didn't actually use the word genocide, he just agreed that it would be good to wipe them off the map. Is there a significant difference? Not that I really care one way or another. Surely there's a comfortable fence to perch upon.
Our dear Imam said that the occupying regime must be wiped off the map and this was a very wise statement. We cannot compromise over the issue of Palestine. Is it possible to create a new front in the heart of an old front. This would be a defeat and whoever accepts the legitimacy of this regime [Israel] has in fact, signed the defeat of the Islamic world. Our dear Imam targeted the heart of the world oppressor in his struggle, meaning the occupying regime. I have no doubt that the new wave that has started in Palestine, and we witness it in the Islamic world too, will eliminate this disgraceful stain from the Islamic world. But we must be aware of tricks [by Israel on Palestine].

George Washington's blog quoted from the original NYT "transcript" which has been debunked many times. What he said - in Farsi - was more like "the Zionist Entity would be erased from the pages of time" - ie, the theocratic, racist government of Israel would vanish like the other tyrannies he listed; not the Jews themselves.
you might want to check your facts and study Farsi. Below is a link to the qoute below
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/fact-checker/post/did-ahmadinejad-re...
In fact, Ahmadinejad is not the power broker in Iran; it is Khamenei. Khamenei, in fact, has been consistent in speaking of his hatred of Israel, but without a military context, as he demonstrated once again this week. Moreover, the fact that Ahmadinejad was merely quoting Khomeini suggests that even less weight should have been given to his words, especially since there is a dispute over the precise meaning in English.
Khamenei has been consistent, stating repeatedly that the goal is not the military destruction of the Jewish state but “the defeat of Zionist ideology and the dissolution of Israel through a ‘popular referendum.’”
It's the Zionist that are causing the problem, not the people in Israel.
If Ahmadinejad really is Hitler, ready to commit genocide against Israel’s Jews as soon as he can get his hands on a nuclear weapon, why are some 25,000 Jews living peacefully in Iran and more than reluctant to leave despite repeated enticements from Israel and American Jews?

Do a little research first dick wad instead of spouting the party line fed to you by MSM.
Now tell us why North Korea isn't such a great danger, shit head.
Being against nuclear weapons proliferation is the same as being for gun control; only the scale is different.
So just to clarify your position, are you cool with your neighbor having a nuclear device or do you think that he shouldn't have guns? Just trying to figure out which kind of ridiculous you are.
If your neighbor had a nuke, would you give a damn about how he's doing and what he's up to? Maybe check on him from time to time?
If your lunatic neighbour had a gun, would you want one too?
I live just a few miles from a country that apparently has 7100 nukes, so, no, as a Canadian I really don't like that. Nuclear weapons should be legislated out of existence, for all nations. WTF are a handful of nuclear nations running around saying 'do as I say, not as I do'?
Some of the less knowledgeable may think that th US invented the bomb. Wrong. US, Canada and Britain developed the bomb. One country had the foresight not to pursue such silliness after the war. But despite all those nuclear weapons etc, the west is still woefully behind in the nuclear technology arena since we can't make the leap to closed-loop reactors that don't create any hazardous waste. Think Fukushima. Then think about all those used fuel rods. Exactly. Closed-loop reactors are just way to sensible for the west to consider... better leave that smart stuff to the Russians and Chinese... it's way beyond our best and brightest.
To your point, I don't think anyone needs nuclear weapons. I also think that those who call for banker wars should be forced to enlist for a fighting unit.
Just sayin'
"despite all those nuclear weapons etc, the west is still woefully behind in the nuclear technology arena since we can't make the leap to closed-loop reactors that don't create any hazardous waste. "
IMHO, nuclear power is a by-product of weapons production and not the invesrse.
LFTRs are what should be being perfected instead of continuing to build dangerous unstable high radiation and high waste generating facilities without ever planning for or costing in decommission costs, arguing over waste disposal, fuel rod pool safety and the morality of using depleated uranium tipped shells in undeclared combat zones.
My point was on the ridiculousness of the posters comparison. As in, if gun control and nuclear non-proliferation are comparable, which side of that fence do you stand on and how did you get so derpy?
To your point, I think it's impossible to legislate nukes away. Look at the recent testing Russia did in the last couple years despite international laws. No one will trust anyone else to relinquish theirs, so it doesn't really matter what we think would be best.
A person with a gun might kill a few hundred on a good day.
A person with a nuke could kill a few million on a good day.
Obviously they are both the same
Yeh, way to go. LEGISLATE nukes out of existence because LEGISLATION is so awesome and makes sure everything happens in accordance with the LEGISLATION.
Are all Canadians bozos or just this one?
Legislation can make water into wine, paper into gold and humans into saints. Ask any progressive...they know...if we only "believe" strongly enough (and kill off all those who don't believe). How many fingers am I holding up Winston????
>the west is still woefully behind in the nuclear technology arena since we can't make the leap to closed-loop reactors that don't create any hazardous waste.
Tell us the number of hours you have spent operating a nuclear reactor at power.
Tell us the number of hours you have spent monitoring a nuclear reactor when shutdown.
If the answer to either of these is zero, kindly shut the fuck up. Because your stated opinion (which can be easily demonstrated to be just that... opinion) isn't worth a thing to those of us that have done both. Unless you'd also like me to drag my friend in and have him give you his opinion since after the Navy he stayed working in the field.
I just got done reading some article about a female CEO wanting to build a molten salt reactor. Do you want to know where the Navy's "molten salt" reactor is buried? Try Balston Spa, NY. Under the parking lot.

Now do you want to know why research was stopped and the program was scrapped?
Reason... that you won't find out unless you actually worked there, too many fires.
Hit a nerve did it? It should, you're obviously adversely affected by propaganda. I don't need to be a nuclear scientist to know that anything that can create deadly waste that can kill a human and remains active for 10 000 years is dumb. Simple enough to comprehend? Oh, and stay away from Canadian beer, it's the good stuff....
Dieting and starving to death are the same; only the scale is different
"I wish I had your willpower" said the blonde.
Good point. I'm now thinking if more countries were armed to the teeth, you wouldn't have bullies like the US fucking with them and causing whatever the crisis of the day is. The Iranian government may be made of nut jobs, but they are no less psycho than those in the US govt. Arm 'em up!!!
1 Superpower creates more world peace than 2 or 0. Doesn't matter if it is US, Rome, or the Mongols, all great world peace's came from a single power house smacking around everyone else. You may not realize it now, but living in a world where everyone is fighting all the time is worse.
And at what time during the Roman or British empires was there peace?
Right after the third Punic War?
What did I win?
Well, if you throw in all of the members of the "coalition of the willing", eveyone has been fighting everyone else pretty much continoulsy since that spider hole dude ordered his minions into Kuwait. I will admit that, theoretically, things could be worse, but this is more of sliding scale than a choice between "awesome" and "total cluster fuck". "Smacking around everyone else" just aint' what it used to be back when superpowers were less civilized and therefore less willing to let insurgencies drag on for decades without end.
Must have learned that from Trump..
1991... Trust me I wont default on these loans..
1992... No...I won't this time, I promise..
2004... That was long ago, no worries this time...
2009... Seriously I mean it this time, I wont file Ch 11. 'Shit I had better change party affiliation too'
Oh pleasssssse.
Man gets a business idea. Forms a plan. Seeks out investors - both equity and debt. Begins to execute his plan. Circumstances change. Oooooops. Business fails. Equity owners lose everything. Debt investors get a haircut. The creditors lent the money expecting a return. They weren't doing it to be kind. They expect to lose on one in ten.
Don't nine of ten new businesses fail? No shame in that. How many people actually try to start a business? Could it be one in ten? I would think one in thirty. Trump is net very successful. Can you tell me the net return on having invested in Trump? That is the only question.
There is a difference between insolvency and illiquidity. The United States is hopelessly insolvent. It only remains liquid courtesy of Greenspan, Bernanke, Yellen and an ignorant and apathetic citizenry. Any of the candidates currently or formerly in Congress or Executive (e.g. Cruz, Hillary, Rubio, Paul, Sanders) are shamefully burdened with the US insolvency. If that is the only metric, Trump beats them all 100X.
Nothing causes nuclear weapons to proliferate like the certainty that the US will remove your country from the rape-and-pillage to-do list if you have them.
You might want to reaquaint yourself with reading: AQ Khan has been the greatest proliferator of nuclear technology as of today...........https://www.iaea.org/safeguards/symposium/2010/Documents/PapersRepositor...
Correct.
But the US didn't insert Special Forces into Pakistan to liquidate the greatest 'proliferation criminal' in history.
Sigghhh... so fucking what? Every single one of these guys does the exact same shit, so why bother pointing fingers?
I hate this crap. It's why we're fucked. Why isn't the cartoonist portraying (for example) the current Rothschild patriarch? Why are we wasting this venom on replaceable puppets? If our target doesn't become the powers behind the throne, those same powers will buy or intimidate the next guy and we will be just as fucked. To hell with Obama... he's not important enough to be worth hating.
I assume all you Iran lovers were USSR lovers as well and thinnk Communism is just awesome! There are people worse that the USA...sorry to burst your bubble. Obama is a confirmed liar....just get over it!
You see, its kind of like the presidency. If you are a white guy and president, all criticisms, no matter how foul, are patriotic in nature. BUT, if the president happens to be not quiet white, say a little darker shade of pale, then any criticism is obviously hate speech and racist.
The same holds true for the Iranian situation. If one criticizes the Iranian deal as potentially harmful, you are a Jew loving idiot, with all of the attending slurs (some here actually think name calling is fight club!!). Whereas, if you accept the Iranian deal as justice and an advancement towards peace, you are obviously a peace loving patriot (by the exact same people convinced that Obama is a homosexual puppet working behest of the aforementioned evil Jews).
Fool me once; shame on you.
Fool me twice; shame on you.
Fool me thrice; shame on you.
Fool me 4 times; hey, can I get an obamaphone?
Trust me BTFD !
You "He's no different than the others we've had" guys slay me. For some reason, you thought he'd be different. The irony in that is orgasmic. Excuse me while I clean us the mess in my lap.
Bullshit. I haven't voted in 15 years. I realized it didn't matter when Bush was installed by judicial fiat back in 2000. I never thought Obama was any different, because I knew by then that POTUS was a bought and paid for puppet.
There is still some difference between the US and a country that has directly threatened to use them on a neighbor to bring forth the 12th, Hidden, Imam as part of a regional if not global conflaguration. This would be like the US telling Mexico we will nuke them unless thay stop sending drugs and migrants, so we can bring forth the new framers.
Why do we worry about all of this when we know Jesus is going to come
and kick all of their asses and make the world all happy happy again?
"The right to buy weapons is the right to be free"

Who has US nuked? One country, two times.
Who has Iran nuked? 0 countries.
How many countries has US gone to war with in the last 100 years? 12 countries.
How many countries has Iran gone to war with in the last 100 years? 1 country.
How many military bases does US have around the world? hundreds.
How many military bases does Iran have around the world? 0.
Who has US nuked? One country, two times.
Why did WTC1 and WTC2 fall down?
Been so long I've pretty much forgotten...
Who started the Iran/Iraq War? (Rember, back when Sadam Hussain was our loyal ally against the Evil Clerics in Iran... Back in the Reagan Years I think it was, not exactly "hundreds of years ago"...).
Lotsa people died, but all we had in play was weapons ammo so it doesn't really count...
Chemical Ali and his persian counterparts don't really agree with your "bullets only" assessment.
Yay, more townhall propaganda bullshit that Zero Hedge loves to post.
Iran is such a huge threat to the U.S. juts like they have apparently been for the last what, 50 years while they ahve done all of nothing. Everyone is apparently a threat to the U.S if you go by what morons like these cartoonists think.
Amuses me how the U.S is the only country to use a nuke on another nation yet EVERYONE else is the big threat that the world should be worried about. Uh huh...
Yes. After those CRAZY MULLAHS nuke Israel they will nuke the US too. Because CRAZY MULLAHS don't take shit from nobody.
CRAZY MULLAHS are hiding under your bed and at the back of your garage.
Feck Off!
Dear Townhall,
Please stop sucking.
Sincerely, America
"Trust Me" is how you say "Fuck You" in Hebrew.
Why does a country that has the 3rd largest Nat Gas reserves need nuclear power. Answer me that AssHole. Have fun voting for Hillary.
well one reason: you need a lot of electrical power to crack oil to produce gasoline. They need gasoline because the US refuses to provide them with the gasoline. Why waste natural gas that you can sell on producing gasoline that you could make at home with a nuclear power plant. It's simple economics.
Look at all the Hillary supporters ready to take the country down. Red it and weep BITCHZEES.
There have been many articles like from George Washington showing the Iran Nuclear threat as a bogus excuse to punish Iran for selling oil outside the Petrodollar and seeking to build a gas pipeline through Syria feeding the European Market.
So this isn't about the War on Terror threatening the US with nukes as the Neocons, Zionists and the globalists want everyone to think.
Jebus! Why don't we take all the nukes in the world and divy em up between all the countries. Who's really to say one nation can have them while another cannot? And we certainly do not need to create any more. We were doomed the minute they came into existance. Having them or not it's just a mater of time before someone looses their head and blows this shit up.
Whats there to say? Its been a flipping parade of two faced scoundrels going back to before I was born. LBJ was king shithead back then. The next guy gave us a fiat coin. Swear to god the next guy simply fell down stairs alot. Then some guy who was a expert on energy screwed that up bigtime. Then some guy that really didnt remember anything. The read my lips guy. Then some guy that had trouble with the word IS. Then read my lips Jr. Then this two faced guy that came out of nowhere.
This next batch is looking just as bad to me. It is what it is.
