Yeah but making a nuke is kinda hard. Most of that uranium isn't enriched enough to make fission and if they are doing an implosion style bomb the explosives needs and their timing isn't easy to pull off. If they try to do anything with it they're more likely to make a dirty bomb than a nuclear weapon.

...out of curiosity, what would you say the enrichment is of 1kg of a block of U-235?

Literally everything that's fucked up right now stems from Obummer's failures in the middle east. It's why Europe has fallen and is becoming inbred, and why Iran got to this point.

If people were less retarded, this shit just wouldn't fly.

Imagine believing that a surgical bombing of a valid military target(s) is considered being in a war.

Personally, I judge people using the shower test.

If I can poke holes in a proposal in the time it takes for a shower so much so that the idea is seriously weakened, then I consider the person a fucking idiot.
 
Qatar has condemned Iran's attack and "reserves the right to respond". Oh they are so tough those boys. The strongly worded letter is on its way Iran. Just you wait!

Just one day I'd like to see all these shit head monarchies in the ME have to defend their own shit rather than relying on the US to cover their ass. These guys are just for the moment on "our" side.

Wow. Even Qatar is ditching them.

Nah Qatar knew about this. Knowing Qatar, they probably even suggested targeting them

IRAN INFORMED US VIA TWO DIPLOMATIC CHANNELS HOURS AHEAD OF ATTACKS ON QATAR, TEHRAN ALSO INFORMED DOHA - SENIOR REGIONAL SOURCE TELLS REUTERS


The New York Times reports: “Iran coordinated the attacks on the American air base in Qatar with Qatari officials and gave advanced notice that attacks were coming to minimize casualties, according to three Iranian officials familiar with the plans. The officials said Iran symbolically needed to strike back at the U.S. but at the same time carry it out in a way that allowed all sides an exit ramp; they described it as a similar strategy to 2020 when Iran gave Iraq heads up before firing ballistic missiles an American base in Iraq following the assassination of its top general.”

Stop pretending you don't know how dictionaries work. This is warfare. Trying to say it's not just makes you look like you're always arguing from bad faith.

 
So instead of forever Trump's war lasted 2 days, to the great disappointment of the usual suspects. I think the shock might be enough to send our own resident smoothbrain you know who back to his tard containment thread for another 4 months to cope and seethe.

Trump got him again :lossmanjack:

Because it is.
Iran gets massively fucked over and embarrassed, after taking advice from allies and their own hubris that Trump will do nothing because of his legacy, his base being against wars, and people thinking he is all talk.

Their Nuclear strategy now must start at step 1, (or earlier depending on how important those lead people are and their file/note keeping is).

After such an embarrassment they needed a way to say that they are getting a "win" without inviting more retailiation on by majority of the world.

So they'll launch a strike that they prementively warn will happen so they can physically strike back and they threaten the closure of oil passage in the sea, (which they'll never be allowed to do by their China masters) so that when they eventually come to the nogiating table they can project strength through this toothless threat.

Finally for Trump if all goes well this is what he has to gain:
  1. Tell the world that he is truly not afraid of military action.
  2. Project strength to backup his threats.
  3. Encourages enemies, (Russia / China /Mexico / EU) to negioate and come to the table. (if you wonder why EU and Mexico, keep in mind economic attacks can now be backed up that Trump can and will take action that may go against his base/popular support in order to back up his threats).
  4. Stops Iran from getting a Nuke.
  5. Hopefully stops Isreal's drive to pull America into the region and he can tell Bibi to fuck-off for the rest of his term. (which if we remember he was in the process of doing before these attacks).
  6. People forget that this happened or at least forget the fear they had during this time, like they did during his first term.
