It wasn’t cool the first fucking time. It was totally obvious.

Literally the exact same arguments.
Look, you’ve been proven wrong, so stop talking. You’ve had your say already. Be quiet, okay? Everything’s fine.
You’re wrong.
Woke Leftists were proved wrong in 2003 and then again in 2011 during the intervention in Libya and then again with Syria and Yemen and Gaza and they will be proven wrong again in 2025.
If you believe otherwise, you are part of Hamas or Al Qaeda or something, idk. The point is that you’re antisemitic.
And now, with the power of Palantir, we know who is saying this shit. We’re going to identify you, add you to a list, get you kicked out of college / fired from your job, harass you at traffick stops and TSA checkpoints, blacklisted, arrested, and deported. In 2025, we’re finally going to end these protests. We’re going to shut down these voices on TV and Radio and the internet. We’re going to purge all these people out of elected office and remove them from the voting rolls.
The future of America will be one people, one voice, one great big hive mind. And we’ll all agree that our next war is correct, just like all of the prior wars. We will be unified in our desire to destroy everyone who disagrees with us, at last. And then we will triumph!
And no, stop calling this fascism. It isn’t fascism. You are so going on the god damned list.
Praise be the MAGAMind Collective! We think so you don’t have to!
But they have cake! And it’s yellow…
America is a threat to world peace
Has been for the last 80 years.
Sad but true
IraqIran has WMDsIf Iran really have WMDs the Zionists aren’t going to pull the shit they’re currently pulling right now.
Israel is the bully who only talks shit when their older brother is behind him. They forgot to look back this time and got clocked, now they’re crying
It’s not even the same level of propaganda. This time even US intelligence agencies are saying there are no WMD and that Iran was still years away from being able to have one. On the other hand Netanyahu has spent literal decades saying Iran is going to have nukes by next week.
Also, Bush and Blair at least tried to go through the UN, before they just ignored it and did it anyway. This time it’s just “oh I guess we’re at war now”.
There wasn’t much of a consensus for Iraqi wmds either.
The CIA knew it was bullshit but Cheney wanted there to be WMDs so chose to believe bullshit artists instead, if John Kiriakou is to be believed. One of the only times in history where CIA might have been the good guys.
And it was never supposed to be nukes right? It was like chemical weapons or something.
Said they bought yellow cake uranium I think.
Chappelle Show taught me that
that was a back-peddle made by the Murdoch machine nearly a decade later, where they tried to claim some old expired chemical weapons (that the United States gave to Saddam in like the 'eighties) were in fact the fabled WMDs.
Bush Jr did at one point say something like “… the smoking gun, which could come in the form of a mushroom cloud.”
Think it was a SOTU. 02?
I’m just saying that even organizations that were lying about Iraqi WMD are not doing it now.
I mean, do you want to wait until they actually do have them? I’m not familiar with what Netanyahu has said, but years away seems like a good time to disrupt their program.
I mean hey, your username is on point for your opinion here but uh, no.
No, Netanyahu in particular has been stating Iran will have a nuke in months since about 1995.
Go check the Daily Show’s (or maybe its Jon Stewart’s?) YT channel for a quick montage recap of Bibi literally claiming this ssme thing for 30 fucking years.
It is 30 years later, and even the official consensus of the US’s own intelligence communities is that Iran does not have a nuke, cannot achieve enrichment beyond about 60%.
And that only even happened because Trump trashed Obama’s deal with Iran to keep enrichment to only low grade, nuclear power plant levels… which was working, and they were adhering to, and letting the IAEA in to verify.
Meanwhile they are being bombarded by a hostile nation state that has had nuclear weapons since roughly 1970, that constantly does everything it can to lie about that, to prevent IAEA inspectors from being assigned to them.
That nation state is Israel, if that wasn’t clear.
So… Iran was previously cooperative and diplomatic.
Then Trump was a backstabbing, bellicose buffoon, and Iran… didn’t even revert to MAD, they reverted to roughly 2 steps below MAD, as you’d have to run the 60% enriched uranium through an entire other industrial process to get it to weapons grade, which no one believes they can currently do, and then make that into actual bombs, which is a whole other thing entirely.
The Iranians have already shown themselves to be quite capable of rational negotiations about nukes, and adhere to agreements.
It is Israel and the US who have been irrational, agressive and underhanded, who have gone back on their word, and forced Iran into an impossible situation from their POV.
We could just maybe not act like insane warmongers, and Iran would likely go back to the negotiating table… us assuring them we will stop assasinating their negotiators might be a good first step.
You seem knowledgeable. Is tritium still necessary for nukes, and, if so, does Iran have access to that?
So first, I am not a nuclear physicist, just a bored autist with nothing better to do while doing PT full time to recover from a series of injuries.
That being said:
Tritium and Deuterium are normally what you’d need for a fission-fusion bomb, or… trying to develop a fusion reactor like a tokamak or what not.
Tritium and Deuterium are mechanically, industrially, produced in yet again another different kind of process that is not the same as the different stages of uranium enrichment.
As of right now, the only sources I can find claiming Iran is developing a tritium production capacity… all trace back to here:
But this is.directly conflicted with Tulsi Gabbard, Trump’s Director of National Intelligence (basically her job is to oversee all of the US’s various intelligence agencies, hybridize what they are saying into a cohesive big picture)
https://www.factcheck.org/2025/06/trump-gabbard-comments-on-iran-nuclear-capability/
She mentions nothing about tritium.
… Tritium alone will not make a nuclear fusion /hydrogen bomb.
You have to start the fusion reaction with a fission reaction, made out of >90% enriched urananium.
While it is true that Iran has a lot of 60% enriched uranium… even if they did have tritium… they would still have to further enrich the uranium, and actually build and test an actual nuclear bomb/warhead.
Making a bomb actually work properly is an entirely other, pretty darn difficult thing to pull off, which is why the precise details of that is basically the most classified info on Earth.
Currently, as best I can tell, US intelligence agencies as represented by Gabbard have essentially dismissed this NCRI report as flawed or invalid in some way… which is why Trump just said that he doesn’t care, because he has seen this story that originates from NCRI bouncing all over the right wing American media sphere.
Trump, rather infamously, doesn’t (or potentially can’t) read briefings or documents that are more than about a page long.
His first admin. was marked by many staffers figuring out stupid ways to overly summarize things, or make any documents he’d need to read be openly praising him, for him to actually read anything… and in this second admin it seems even worse, all he does is watch TV news, and he will claim it is more true than literally the reports from the most expensive intelligence network on the planet…
… so. yeah. we have insane conspiracy theory rapist racist felonious dementia grandpa for President, and he just believes whatever he wants to, and then his maggat cult followers do the same.
Thanks, great analysis. Fuck that piece of shit and fuck the people who own him with a whale’s dork.
One last note:
You can make a just fission only bomb with just highly enriched (>90%) uranium… again assuming you can actually make the bomb in the correct manner.
The US’s early nukes, the ones we dropped on Japan, were fission only.
Still awfully destructive, but … the opposite of miniaturized.
With fission-fusion (and other more complex setups)… you can get much more destructive power in a lot smaller and less heavy package.
Making a fission only warhead on a missile or in a bomb… you would need something quite large.
Like, hide it in a semi truck or large van and then detonate it.
Or a fuck off huge ICBM.
Basically, its… not very realistic to imagine a fission only nuke as something that could be practially be used by conventional military delivery methods that I am aware that Iran has access to.
Its possible you could make like a suicide bomber truck, an Oklahoma City Bombing / WTC 93 bombing with a nuke… but this truck, with a goddamned nuke in it, would have to somehow drive to its target.
Not impossible, Ukraine and Israel just managed to sneak basically semi trucks full of drones and shit into enemy territory… but not easy either.
Iran has certainly snuck equipment into Syria, Lebanon, Iraq… but not Israel/Palestine, at least as I am aware, nothing that huge, that heavy.
Iran can and does send funds and basically build a gun, build a mortar, build a bomb kits to Hamas and Hezbollah… as well as train people in being good guerilla fighters… but I’ve never heard of them delivering something you couldn’t smuggle in a car trunk.
I may be not sufficiently informed on… the entirety of everything Iran has managed to smuggle into Israel/Palestine though.
Do you always advocate preemptive punishment for crimes that have not actually been committed (“yet”)?
And frankly, I didn’t trust any of the nuclear powers, especially not the US. Fuck sake we have an orange dementia patient in charge!
Conspiring to commit a crime is a crime in and of itself.
And I get not trusting the USA, but Iran is a lot more terrifying.
Way to deflect there, buddy.
US never had any business “policing” other countries, especially considering how many governments we’ve been responsible for overthrowing - for nothing more than profit.
And I couldn’t possibly care any less about fear mongering propaganda about how terrifying Iran is. Don’t get me wrong, that fucker in charge is a complete bastard. But I don’t actually know anything other than the message I’m told to believe - by one of the most corrupt nations on the planet.
Fuck warmongering. ಠ_ಠ
If having nuclear weapons is a crime then start with Israel.
Israel is committing a genocide, no one seems to be disrupting them.
I don’t think my nation has the right to control what other nations do through military force.
We do it, but I don’t think we should
actually have them.
100% unironically: yes. I’ll tell you why. The US already has them and has used them on civilians twice already.
It wasn’t okay the first time around either. Anyone credulous enough to believe that obvious bullshit shouldn’t have been allowed to form legal contracts for their own safety.
It’s a lot of the same people who voted Trump in, so that shit tracks.
I was a young teen when it happened and it just seemed ridiculous that anyone would be naïve enough to fall for the extremely obvious lies.
I’m probably? a couple decades older than you, it’s always been this way. My entire life has been Americans convincing other Americans to fuck their own country and futures for culture war bullshit, petty vengeances, and unmitigated greed on the promise that they’ll get theirs too only to be left empty handed and worse off than before. Then they vote the same way again while complaining that all the problems are the same. The joke about the definition of insanity applies.
They want people uneducated for a reason.

Man. I watched this skit when it came out and I still refer to it. It’s lived rent free in my head for 18 years (?!!!) and I only watched it once when it came out. Thanks for that mental whiplash
