The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Dope1: ...except some here and anybody who though the "Iran deal" that Obama signed was smart policy.

It wasn't.


The Financial Times wrote specifically about the success of the JCPOA. Here's a chart that shows that from the time the nuclear deal was implemented in January, 2016 until Mad King Donald withdrew from the agreement, Iran had zero activity installing centrifuges at any sites.

After Mad King Donald killed the agreement, Iran restarted their program and quickly escalated their nuclear activity.

In short, this is all on Mad King Donald.

Dope1: What have the Americans accomplished with their nighttime strikes on three nuclear sites in Iran?

1. Critical infrastructure of the nuclear fuel cycle appears to have been unaffected or sustained only minor damage.

Editor's note: LOL, Ivan.


Umm, buddy, the IAEA said there has been no rise in radiation levels at the bombarded Iranian nuclear sites.

None.

Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Qatar confirmed that radiation levels remain normal across the Gulf region.

Mad King Donald signaled to Iran that an attack was imminent and there are videos of a convoy of trucks that likely removed their enriched uranium out of the sites in the run-up to the U.S. strikes.

The New York Times is reporting that Fordow -- as the Pentagon/DTRA assessed -- was not "obliterated".

Essentially, we bombed several mostly abandoned bases to make Mad King Donald feel tough and shift the news -- SQUIRREL! -- and they responded by giving us advance notice so we could abandon one of our bases before bombing it so they could feel tough.

Wag the Dog times two.
