In reply to the discussion: White House says Iran could produce a nuclear weapon in 'a couple of weeks' [View all]SidneyR
(182 posts)60. So far, only one country has used nuclear weapons.
And killed tens of thousands of innocent civilians. Not once, but twice, despite contemporary intelligence that their enemy was trying to surrender. But this country wanted to test the two different bombs to see how they worked. They worked great. Only a few Ginkgo trees survived.
And now this country assumes the right to tell every other country what to do, and who has the right to a nuclear weapon. What gives this country that moral authority? What makes this country somehow god's favorite? What the hell!

If that were true, bombing them like Israel is doing would be very dumb and dangerous.

You'd think they'd be within at least a week of finishing, spurred as they must be by the week-old Israeli attack . . .

We know from experience, when Donnie promises something in two weeks, it means never.

That statement confirms Trump will drag America into this war against Iran. That's his false pretext.

We heard the same thing about Iraq and it was found to be a complete fabrication by the Bush administration.
