News: Iran *One year away from a Nuclear bomb* according to US officials.

[QUOTE="MushroomWig"][QUOTE="STurn21"]There is not one super power right now that supports Iran. Maybe a few Middle Eastern countries would be molly-wopped, but it would be far from WW3.STurn21

If you think Russia is willing to sacrifice their well being for the crazies in Iran you are terribly misinformed...

[QUOTE="hamstergeddon"]This just in: sanctions don't actually work in nations where the government doesn't give a **** about it's people. STurn21

I don't think you understand the weight UN sanctions hold. If a country consistently violates UN specific "last warning" UN sanctions (especially when it comes to nukes), a UN coalition force invading is right around the corner. Approval of the UN is easily the most important aspect of waging a successful, well accepted war.

Iran can build as many Nukes as it wants it will never have enough money to build a world ****delivery system with out the help of one of the world powers and currently the U.S Russia China Britain & France are the only nations on the planet with a proven capacity to build a delivery system of modern standard .

The funniest part off all this is Irans desire to have a bomb is due to America's hard line approach to Iran.

Did you ignore the link I posted from this week (not 3 months ago like the sources you keep supplying)? Selling air defense systems to a country for billions of dollars and supporting them in nuclear war are two very different things.

It's okay, Israel will just send in a secret tactical squad and blow it up again.

I am arguing against the ridiculous assertion that Russia would take part in WW3 for the sake of Iran. Selling old, decrepit AD systems is solely for monetary purposes.

Russia are supporting Iran, they're the ones who are supplying them with anti-air weapons.

why shouldn't Russia sell them these weapons if there getting the cash for them its a completely legit arms sale its not like there giving them for free and Russia will never back Iran in a war type scenario because it has far to much to lose if it does most of Russia's biggest trading partners would pull out there investment in Russia .

And what exactly does Iran have? Old Soviet technology that would be obliterated by Israel. Are you forgetting that Iran got slaughtered by Iraq? And that was back when their economy was decent. Now a days, after the UN TRADE SANCTIONS, they wouldn't be able to sustain a war against a small military let alone the best military in the Middle East.

And by the way, old Soviet AD systems are not capable of effective defense against a modern, advanced Air Force. Iraq had old Soviet AD systems and we had no problems bombing them to oblivion.

I don't get whats the big deal with nuclear bombs. Its deadly and all but they could uses they funds towards other stuff instead of building the bombs

Nukes are a deterrent weapon. Countries might think twice knowing that they can be annialated by our nukes.

]And what does that first sentence even mean?

Excuse me?

the very last sentence before the little list.STurn21

I find it funny that the only country who has used nuclear weapons in a war is the country that gets to decide who can and can't have nukes. Yes, we are a paragon of responsibility with those things.

Is it time to panic yet?

Nah. Obama's got it all under control. He's gonna talk ol Ack-Mah-Dean-ajad in to givin em up. That Obama. He's a smooooooth talker.

That was the strategy Bush adopted with Kim Jong.

What alternative is there? Going in guns blazing is foolish. Our military is not omnipotent and we already are spending "too much money". We don't have the resources to start a third war in the middle east.

OMG, this is really stupid. Aren't these the same people that said Iraq was going to throw a nuke bomb on the US before the Iraq invasion?

Now they are saying Iran is going to Nuke Israel? When is this going to stop people?

I just want to say that Iraq was searched from top down, nope, no WMD, no connection with terrorists at the time. Thanks.

Oh and BTW, no, they weren't shipped out to another country. For heavens sakes.

Of course the US economy is powerful it has trade agreements and interests with countries all over the world and israel is only a country with about 9 million people gets alot of aid from countries such as the US and Canada it makes sense that both countries have a stronger economy than iran but you cant necessarily say irans economy is weak and that it cant handle a war with israel and plus iran wouldnt go down without a fight just by closing the straight of hormuz and sending oil prices up it easily damages an american capitalist economy that is basically a gas guzzler which is why america does not want war in the region thats what its interests are i hope you understand that its interest is oilsosodat

[QUOTE="sosodat"]An i would love it for you to provide a link that says Irans economy is weak. Nations are discussing on how sanctions on iran are counter productive on iran and you say its economy is weak. On the contrary iran has actually boosted its trade with many south american countries including a powerhouse like Brazil and also regional countries such as turkey, pakistan, and china and its economy has actually improved in the last year China and Russia are reluctant to impose sanctions on iran and you sir no exactly why and its not because irans economy is weakSTurn21

$12,900 GDP Per Capita (in PPP) compared to Israel ($28,000) and the US ($46,000) they have a very weak economy.
