Translation ... Pay us protection money or we nuke Israel.

Would be a hopeful development, because the US don't negotiate when they are blackmailed, so will  not pay. Well that's what they say ... maybe a Iran-Contra II in the make?

Hmmmm 

If I am Kim North Korea and Iran I would say to Trump

”ok, no more nuclear. Agree.

We not do if you not do”

 

the US have the most nuclear. They start it.

Only country to use nuclear bomb. 

Kill 250,000 +  woman, children, baby.

 

But so angry if other country have nuclear.

US think themself special so much.

Why?

They got them first. It allowed them to gain power and influence on most of the world. Now that they have the advantage they want to prevent anyone to challenge them so they can maintain their empire.

Can you imagine if Iran had got  them first, I get tired of the slagging America receives at  times but id  rather they had them than a  crackpot religiously mad  nation where rights for many are zero.

Sure it's normal to prefer our own team. But if the US did not have the bomb they would probably not have toppled the first democratic government of Iran in 195x. As an unintended consequence it gave us the current religious government of Iran.

Hows  your Japanese language  skills, they could  have been  much better without those  bombs.

Or not... the bombs did not change the outcome off the war. It simply shortened it and saved allied losses, which were expected to be very high if an assault was required.

 

that said, Russia had already unleashed over a million and a half troops at japan, and if not for the bomb, Japan would now be a Russian protectorate.

The turban one will just have to wait for a tweet from the orange one on that ????

With Trump looking now for anything to divert attention from the impeachment case, Iran would be wise to adopt a low profile.

That's one way of looking at it. An alternative one would  assert it's a good time to gain concessions in return for a photo op or a headline (re Kim).
