Re: Iran, I ran so far away - flock of seagulls Reply #15 – June 18, 2025, 07:05:30 pm Quote from: Lods – on June 18, 2025, 04:59:22 pmQuote from: Thryleon – on June 18, 2025, 02:07:54 pmNow this is something that ive often had issues with. Generally speaking, here is a graph.https://www.statista.com/chart/8301/the-countries-holding-the-worlds-nuclear-arsenal/Iran do not feature on the list of nations possessing nuclear weapons.Israel on the other hand, do. Its fundamentally hypocritical to stop another nation from obtaining them if you have some. Or does it matter which side is the goodies, and which are the baddies? The fewer countries that have the bloody things the better.If a countries leaders constantly sprout the elimination of your country and embark on a program that could result in them obtaining nuclear weapons, then the rules of 'fairness' and hypocrisy go out the window.You don't play fair.You use the advantage while you still possess it.You're going to do everything in your power and capability to make sure such a program doesn't progress.Even if the supposed best intelligence network says that the program doesn't exist?I bet Ukraine is spitting chips that it gave up what was the world's third largest nuclear arsenal.You're right though, no-one should have nuclear weapons, but I can't see that happening unless we produce a brand new crop of genuine leaders not wedded to 20th century ideologies and nationalism.

Re: Iran, I ran so far away - flock of seagulls Reply #18 – June 18, 2025, 11:05:01 pm Iran is Russia’s source of drones for its war on Ukraine. It’s in Putin’s interests if Iran’s weapons manufacturing capacity isn’t diminished by the Israeli bombardment.Until the recent transfer of US-supplied Patriot missile systems to Ukraine, Israel has refused to provide military aid to Ukraine or to impose sanctions on Russia.Two of Tsar Vlad’s very few supporting nations are bombing the crap out of each other and it’s in his in interests to hose things down.
