Illegally? We're at war with Iran. They have consistently supported terrorism, they have an illegal nuclear program.

They're lucky it's still at this level.



What exactly is an "illegal" nuclear program?


Isn't that war illegal? Doesn't congress need to approve these things?

Speaking of terrorism, only one of the belligerents has been antagonizing both its allies and its enemies recently. Didn't they just snatch another country's head of state? Try a decapitation strike unprompted against Iran? Threaten to invade Canada, Greenland and Cuba? If one regime is using terror to achieve political aims these days...


No, Congress does not need to approve military action for it to be legal.

I said nuclear program and I was correct by a very wide margin:

> The United States again spent more than all of the other nuclear armed states combined: $56.8 billion. China was the second largest spender at $12.5 billion, less than a quarter of U.S. spending. The third largest amount, $10.4 billion, or 10% of the total figure, was spent by the UK.

No, I don't care about Russia one way or the other. I do think my money was stolen to fund the Ukraine though. I'm not an extremist, I'm no Zionist.

I said the US had the largest nuclear program and I was right. I even provided a source.

You are also breaking site guidelines, badly.


Russia objectively has the largest nuclear program.

'which car collection is larger, the one with less more expensive cars, or the one with more cars'.

See how that works. The one with more of the 'thing' is the larger. The fact one nation gets more bang for their dollar doesn't change how numbers work.


Again, the US has the largest nuclear program by a long shot. Russia isn't even in the top 5. Please go back and reread the source I posted.

Do you deny that the regime that runs Iran embraces Shia Islam? Or do you deny that Shia Islam embraces martyrdom?

Let's just say that the factual position for my claim seems stronger than yours.

As for which of us is spewing propaganda... I'll let the readers judge.


Yes, Shia Islam does not "embrace martyrdom" in that they do not want to live. I think they handle us murdering them en mass with the utmost grace, maybe that's where you are confused?


So, tell me about suicide bombers?

They may want to live, but at least some of them are much more willing to die - much more willing to choose to die - than most leaders of most countries.


The "suicide bombers" are people who had their families murdered by Zionists. A fully expected and understandable response to such a thing.
