    RE:
    Do you think that Iran has nuclear weapons? I don't but wouldn't be uncomfortable if they did.

    It's not up to you either and you are an American.

    No, all our lives are not a stake - yet.

    For 20 years 3 presidents and their diplomatic corps have cooed and wispered and cajolled (respectfully) and bribed the north korean dynasty and it has gotten us nothing

    I thought the best time for force the kim family out of power was 1994

    But it didn't happen for a variety of reasons

    some good like sparing South Korean lives, and some not so good like a weak president who was snookered by Jimmy Carter and the communists

    Now the kim dynasty is close to putting the lives of millions of Americans at risk along with South Koreans and Japanese

    Trump is just cleaning up the mess that was given to him

    Not this poster, no. Yours truly was in Osh, Kyrgyzstan on June 10th, 2010 and withnesed Religion of Peace in action, firsthand. My comment was 100% sarcastic.

    They do not. No one has a nuke, until they explode one.

    Relax, 134 countries support the excellent nuclear deal. Only the current Israeli & US governments oppose the Nuclear Deal
    If the US abrogates the Deal it will make it harder to reach any agreement with N. Korea, severely damage US credibility, world wide, & further prove that Israeli lobbies rule US Foreign Policy

    "After Trump speech, entire G-77 backs Iran deal"
    http://presstv.ir/Detail/2017/09/23/536143/Iran-G77-JCPOA-Trump

    EXCERPT "One hundred and thirty four countries, under the banner of the Group of 77 at the United Nations, have voiced support for a 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and six other countries following a tirade by US President Donald Trump against Iran and the deal at the UN."CONTINUED

    The world should have learned a lesson from the collapse of the USSR: nuclear deterrence strategy is ineffective if A) the leader(s) of the nuclear armed state are irrational, or B) no legitimate authority exists within the nuclear armed state.

    We (the people of Earth) got lucky that all Russian institutions did not fail with the demise of the communist government and we were able to secure WMDs and associated materials. The next time a nuclear state fails, there is no guarantee that it will retain enough institutional integrity to keep its WMDs secure.

    Disregarding the irrational leader(s) factor, you may be right that no state will use nuclear weapons, but we increase the odds of non-state actors' use with each new member of the nuclear club.

    Also, ISIL would not have existed without Iranian and Syrian intervention in the Iraq war.

    Yup, and that is why Israel is set to destroy itself and the Islamic Near and ME from Alexandria to Tehran if it is overrun.

    They do have the technology, much like Canada. To the point that's it's IMO a matter of choice.

    The missle body is the easiest part and can be fashioned after all the smaller intricate and sophisticated technology is complete.

    Iran's first successful launch of a satellite into orbit using an Iranian space launcher was all the way back in 2009. The last launch by Iran which you refer to was actually Iran's 5th such launch since 2009. Not just satellites, Iran's space program has in the past featured Iranian space vehicles transporting animals into space as well. The nuclear deal has nothing to do with any of this.

    Similarly, for almost 2 decades now, Iran has tested various ballistic missiles with the range of its latest missile design, the Khoramshahr. These missiles include the Sejil, Ghadir, Shahab 3 and now the Khoramshahr. Nor is Khoramshahr the first Iranian multi-warhead missile. Nothing new in this regard either.

    The truth is simple and clear: Before the nuclear deal, (including during the Bush administration era and subsequently under Obama), Iran used to engage in testing and developing its ballistic missile capabilities with far more regularity and focus than after the nuclear deal. This despite there was even an explicit UN Resolution (resolution 1929) which purported to prohibit Iran from such missile activity and tests. After the nuclear deal, the UN security council resolution on Iranian missile test were significantly watered down to now merely "call upon" Iran to refrain from such conducting such tests (UN Resolution 2231) and yet Iran's missile tests became far more sporadic.

    Of course, those who imagine they can bully Iran have their answers from Iran directly. Why the need to lie and engage in propaganda?

    This is a video showing Iran sending a monkey into space. This was several years ago, before the nuclear deal, and Iran send another monkey into space afterwards as well.



    And here is a video showing some of Iran's underground missile bases and silos:

    Great news! Maybe now the rogue, terrorist state of Israel will be less likely to attack Iran.

    But they are supportive of the Nuclear Deal
    What gave you the idea that I was "proud of" the G-77 developing nations? I'm simply supportive of the Nuclear Deal that is only opposed by Zionist War Mongers in & out of US & Israeli governments

    Has Trump threatened to annihilate Iran yet? That should calm things down.
