There are just as credible intelligence insiders who believe it’s very possible that Iran already has a bomb, but their strategy is to refrain using it on Israel until one is used to prevent any strike from us. Most likely to be deployed from a ship off our coast as an EMP.

I answered this question: “Please tell me this is coherent to someone else?” I made no comment as to what I agreed or disagreed with. I would have thought that someone with your scholarly intellect would have caught that, right off.

Take your own advice. When it says they are not building a bomb, it means exactly that and nothing more. They may have all the components on the bench in front of them, but as long as they’re not assembling them, they’re not building one. Even at that, it’s still just informed speculation. Recognizing all the missed calls of the intelligence community. There is no civilian or industrial application for uranium enriched above 40%. Iran’s cheating on the JCPOA was known to be just as prolific as in the Oil for Food Program. Anything above 40% is building towards a bomb. To anyone with common sense.

Some estimates say it will take 10–12 of them and still not guaranteed to take everything out. The best way to be sure is troops on the ground to carry out the components, set charges, and implode it. That still doesn’t deal with any weapons grade uranium that may have been hidey holed elsewhere.

I agree, and he says so much, over and over again.

Most posters occasionally post a line that could be considered trollish, for instance, this: Where you revise my statement of comprehension and twist it to meet some imaginary fantasy of your’s that you can manufacture an attack for. Trollish.

There is a difference. In Ukraine we are directly opposing a nuclear armed superpower.

I don’t know if it qualifies as trolling, but reading your posts, other than your claim to have voted for Trump, it’d be easy to discern that you don’t like him or anything he does.

That was my take.

From what I’ve gathered, yes, it’s too big for other bombers and the B2 is the only one designed to deploy it with the guidance system able to accomplish accuracy.

At least three Chinese 747s flew into Iran. Communications jamming equipment is on the list of likely payload. No telling what else.

To what end, as it’s widely believed that Iran has, by now, moved its enriched nuclear bomb making uranium to some unknown location? Taking out Fordow may stop some enrichment for a while, but it doesn’t necessarily mean they can’t build a dozen or so nuclear bombs.

I understood him just fine.

Brevity is the soul of wit.

Iran isn’t displaying much in the way of air defense.

Mass illegal immigration is dangerous, unaffordable, and unfair to those who are going through the legal process, as well as those who are being displaced by them in the workforce. Don’t agree with it, change the law. Good luck, the consensus against you is strong.

Since it’s illegal for an illegal to possess a firearm there’s not much chance anyone will be shot by an illegal, right? The dress of law enforcement is a reaction to the interference and lack of cooperation by local law enforcement authorities. The riots were instigated when it falsely went out on the grapevine that ICE was making a raid on illegals. It was actually a different agency enforcing a search warrant. The only illegal activity was the riots and the interference.

Report: ICE Raid at Nebraska Meatpacking Plant Opens Jobs for Americans, Legal Immigrants “An NBC News report reveals that a couple of days after the ICE raid, Americans and legal immigrants poured into Glenn Valley Foods with the hope of scoring the newly opened jobs: Decades of research have shown that ICE’s worksite raids routinely lead to new job openings for Americans and legal immigrants in the local community.“ https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/06/16/report-ice-raid-nebraska-meatpacking-plant-opens-jobs-americans-legal-immigrants/

It was worse than it sounds. “The House of Representatives voted Tuesday to scrap a Washington, DC, law permitting noncitizens to vote in local elections and overturn another local law curtailing law enforcement liability protections. In a 266 to 148 vote with one present, the House moved to nix the 2022 Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act and ensure that only US citizens can vote in DC elections.” https://nypost.com/2025/06/10/us-news/house-votes-to-overturn-dc-law-allowing-noncitizens-to-vote/

They say there are but didn’t say what they were. News conference to begin shortly.
