Iran already has missals to reach EU and can transport a nuke if allowed to keep the Dust as it is called. Read the news from the military. What do you think this war is all about?

The person responsible for the information, see the thread, has just resigned. She publicly stated that Iran is far away from a nuclear bomb.

Wrong !!!

FACTS Iran does not currently possess a nuclear warhead, nor does it have fully developed Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs) capable of striking deep into Western Europe or the US with a heavy payload

yes it has missile that can reach eu but have conventional war head

yes iran has 60% uranium is stored as a gas uranium hexafluoride can be taken to weapons grade within a month but to make a nuke you need to weaponize it experts say iran is over 2yrs away from making a nuke

the war is about OIl Why did trump not stop NK having Nukes because there is no oil read the news not B/S

Another prominent Trump supporter who has gone off the reservation.

She should have been more forceful in her opposition to the "...cabal of warmongers" in the administration and Trump's craven subjection to Netanyahu and the Zionist carnage that is laying waste to large parts of the Middle East.

Her husband has cancer

Mike I did not say Iran has a nuclear warhead. They so have a way to transport a long distance, for example Diego Garcia.

Mike let me know where you got your information about the time frame. The war started because of the 60% initially and so on if you have been keeping up. By the way, I use Google for finding facts, same as you. NK had nukes way before Trump was involved. By the way, I do not deal with BS thank you. Have a nice evening.

What a shame that you think a country of Terrorist is OK to have a nuclear bomb that can reach all the way to the EU. OK, got it.

5 thumbs down just mean, Trump haters are the bottom line.

You seem to think that “Trump haters” are somehow the ones at fault, the ones who are irrational (Five thumbs down! Poor you!). But the fact is, disliking Trump (or “hating” if you wish, sure) is entirely rational, and natural. I mean, for god’s sake, his grift is so out in the open, his self-dealing priorities so obvious, it would really take an effort to find anything decent in the man -- it’s just not there!

 

And here he has you all worried about Iran launching a nuclear attack against the EU. Think for a second: what would possibly compel Iran to launch a nuclear attack against the EU? (If it could: Iran is quite a ways off from such a capability.) There’s no reason under the sun why Iran would do such a suicidal thing. In another thread, Trump has some other supporters on this forum tied up in knots about the genitalia of random people who use public rest rooms. Really? I mean, who cares? But there you go.

 

Tulsi Gabbard, perhaps, has seen the light, and she’s jumping ship; good for her. Perhaps she’s genuinely tired of being manipulated beyond all recognition. Along with hundreds of thousands, probably millions of other Americans who are cutting their losses and shifting their support to other, more promising political corners.

Miniaturization & Missile Delivery (1 to 2 Years): The most difficult phase of weaponization is reducing the weight and size of the warhead so that it can be mated to a re-entry vehicle on a ballistic missile. Successfully miniaturizing a nuke typically takes countries 1 to 3+ years of extensive testing and engineering

The war started by Israel And Trump netanyahu told trump Iran was weeks away from having a Nuke which was untrue read the news its all there !! netanyahu had tried this several times with different presidents all told him to F off except moron trump All intelligence told trump Iran was years away but he did not listen !!! just because you have 60% uranium does not mean you are making a nuke !!

Iran is banned from buying tc99 by sanctions. it is used for radioisotope in nuclear medicine, employed in approximately 80% of all nuclear diagnostic procedures worldwide. It acts as a radioactive tracer that emits gamma rays, allowing gamma cameras to create images of internal body structures

what has this to do with 60% uranium is because to produce tc99 isotope you need 60% enriched uranium

as I said They Iran have missiles, NOT able to carry a heavy payload ( nuclear) they need to build one capable of a heavy payload which could take 1 to 2 years

I'm going to guess you are neither a nuke expert nor have you ever held a Q clearance.

As for the war, it's all about 2 things:

1) divert attention from Epstein

2) Try to recover Trump's tumbling poll numbers.

That's why it's called Epic Fail or Epstein Fury.

Iran's "dust" is 60% enriched. They need to get it to 93% enrichment to be able to then begin constructing a bomb. That requires two things Iran does not have: better high speed centrifuges and an extremely precise power generation system so that the high speed centrifuges do not wobble and implode.

So first Iran has to import the HPC tech. Then enrich to 93%. Then figure out how to build a bomb. Then figure out how to miniaturize it to fit on a missile. Trump's lie not withstanding, that is considerably more than a two week process. It is years, perhaps a decade. It took North Korea that long to go from 60% enriched U235 to a miniaturized nuke capable of being carried on a Hwasong 20. North Korea achieved that during Trump's first term, while Kim Jong-un hoodwinked Trump with "love letters".

And to remind you...the ONLY reason Iran now has 60% U235 is because Trump tossed the JCPOA in 2018. Until then, Iran had a maximum of 300kg of 3% U235, allowed under the JCPOA.

Trump spent upwards of $50 billion to achieve nothing, save for killing many innocent people. Iran still has 70% of its mobile launchers and 90% of its underground missiles---per the intel community where the supposed Chief just quit. One of the things Gabbard did before quitting was to fire the people who were Iran experts in the ODNI, like Mike Collins. The Iran expert in the agency---"Ayatollah Mike", aka The Prince of Darkness, quit.

So Trump isn't going to get the "dust" and he's got the Strait of Hormuz closed and gas at $4.60 in the US, plus fertilizer shortages that will further impact food prices worldwide. Oh, and the US no longer has any allies.

Trump's war of choice will go down as the greatest disaster in all the years of US military adventurism.

The Biden DOJ combed through the unredacted Epstein files meticulously for four year and found nothing on Trump worth leaking to the press, much less prosecutable.

Is the war not a primary driver of the negative poll numbers?

What you say is correct !! Iran also needs uranium deuteride, UD3 which they don't have, this is used as neutron initiator is necessary to ensure the chain reaction starts exactly at the right millisecond. Iran is years away from making a Nuke and the whole world knows this as does trump !!

Let's not jump to hasty conclusions. He's got at least another two and a half years to get us into an even greater disaster. Those Greenlanders are a lot scrappier than they look 🙄

Yeah, sick losers make a political thing out of someones illness

I don't know how ill Abraham Williams is. In any case, I wish the couple well. Still one can't help but wonder, from the timing in the middle of a backfiring war, if Tulsi isn't fleeing a train wreck.

Or maybe the more appropriate metaphor is the Maldivian cave dive.

Trump: We're doing great and Iran's going to be easier than Venezuela. Trust me, in and out. Come on boys and girls. I will lead the way.

Oh, come on Tulsi. You've been a scaredy cat from day one. I don't know why I hired you. Bye.

And they'll be fishing out Trump's lardy ass while Tulsi watches from a beach chair with mai tai in hand.

Apparently he’s pretty ill (weird strain of bone cancer), and she’s doing entirely the appropriate thing in quitting her job to support him, and she doesn’t need any more reason than that to resign. But you’re quite right, the timing couldn’t be better for Tulsi!

 

I have very little sympathy for those who willingly accept high positions in the Trump administration, and stick with it, if they have other choices (namely, speaking out loudly in opposition). However, I’m happy to give Tulsi the benefit of the doubt for now, depending on what she does in the months to come. Meantime, all the best to her husband in, hopefully, his recovery.

I agree. Tulsi gets the benefit of the doubt now. However, given the reason for leaving it'll seem disingenuous of her to hit the talk show circuit anytime soon to go Joe Kent on Trump.

Once Donald Trump became elected as President, then he became part of the Establishment. The Establishment, for the US, has a 250 year track record in protecting the Establishment. It's muscle memory, applicable even when illogical.

Is she now a double or triple secret agent ?

One less super freak to be concerned about, and one less pathological member of the administration. See ya Tulsi!

Iran has been “weeks away” from nuclear capability for the past 30 years. You really shouldn’t believe all the BS this administration serves up.
