[QUOTE=tr00per7;42828090]Don't they just want nuclear power stations? From what I can remember, a nuclear bomb and a nuclear power station are exactly the same, only the power station manages the release of breakdown so the shit doesn't cause a chain reaction that would level the place. WHo cares if they got nukes, the russians and chinese never nuked us, they'll be fineeeee.[/QUOTE] Nuclear bombs and nuclear power plants are completely different. About the only thing similar is the word "nuclear" in their names. To go from power plant fuel to weapons grade fuel you need to enrich the uranium a lot more. Which is not as simple as it sounds. Also the geometry of a nuclear fuel rod for a power plant would not allow for a nuclear explosion iirc.

Neither Israel nor Iran need nuclear weapons, neither does Pakistan or India. We should all follow Ukraine and just get rid of our nukes.
[QUOTE=Paul McCartney;42830392]India is an oligarchy ran by several families, among them being the Ghandi's lol. [editline]11th November 2013[/editline] By the way. Israel has threatened to use Nuclear bombs against nations not even pertaining to them, threatening the USA with them. I'm not fucking kidding. [editline]11th November 2013[/editline] [B]Also, The Samson option, which is Israels Nuclear strategy, focuses on destroying themselves, and everyone in the world, if they are threatened. They have openly admitted to having nukes aimed at most every European capital.[/B] [editline]11th November 2013[/editline] They pretty much flat out threaten using WMD's if the USA doesn't cooperate with them.[/QUOTE] I'm sorry, but Israel hasn't even declared any of their nuclear weapons. I doubt they have openly stated their missiles being "pointed" at every major city in Europe. Would you mind posting a credible source to reinforce this statement?
[QUOTE=bravehat;42828075]Yeah we should let Israel have them instead[/QUOTE] Here's a radical idea. How about we say [i]neither[/i] should have nukes, and since obviously Israel already has them and getting rid of them isn't going to happen, we try to limit the damage by not rubberstamping their use by every two-bit dictator on the planet? What the hell kind of shitty reasoning is 'Israel has nukes and shouldn't, so everyone else who wants them can have them freely and nobody can say otherwise'?
