Does anyone think its strange that Iran with all its resources is having to build a bomb from scratch?

Question

Since the Soviet Union had about 170 tons of useable plutonium when it fell apart and all you need is 8kg for a bomb. Basically they need 16kg 1 to detonate as practice and let everyone know they mean business and 1 if push came to shove. With all of Irans resources they have to build one from scratch? I wonder then how hard it would be for a crazy cave living radical to get this stuff and make a bomb and come over here and bomb us. The whole nuclear thing is a massive media scare tactic to keep us freaked out. Hes got something like 3,000 centrifuges that will take a couple years to build up enough stuff to make a bomb. Basically the whole idea that Iran is getting the bomb soon is misinformation. Why are we already talking like North Korea might be interested in getting rid of their nuclear weapons with just negotiations. Why did south africa get the bomb and then just let go of it. Basically it takes alot to build and have them. Too spendy.

Answer 1

no I don't feel they have got to build the bomb from scratch, and I do commend the Russians for their help, how would you feel if the Zionist state of Israel was in your neighborhood and had nukes knowing they are some of the most evil people on earth,
look how they have treated the Palestinians for over 60 years, if you put a animal in a cage and terrorized him every day by hitting and punching him with a stick the U,S would be on your azz in a minute, is that not what Israel does to the Palestinians every day? Russia was under Zionist control for the past 60 years and know what kind of people they are,so do you blame Iran from wanting at least equal weaponry as a deterrent, I am sure they don't always want to be bully ed by Israel and never know when they will be bombed by them, would you? the Russians know how the Zionist are and we had better take their cue or else we will be next if we are not already, lets face it they tried this in England and were kicked out , they were successful in Russia and had complete control, they had Germany until Hitler came along, now they have the U,S, who will save us??

Answer 2

Personally I do not know about all the info you are typing, but the common sense side of it? Pakistan has one and we helped them afford it in trade. And Britain helped them as well. Money talks and BS walks right? Well Iraq never had the money and neither does Iran. But Big Biz does, like Russia, China, Euro investors?? eh? What ever made you think that they could not get assistance to go front and center like Korea is doing too, for our enemies are behind the scenes? They are not going to have a war with Nukes? They are going to stage a war with Iran and Korea to promote this WW III thing and we will all go in to save the day?
Then money will flow again but controlled by the New World Order and then they will re-group and certainly end up reducing population, without germ warfare since they found out that germs can get to anyone anytime? Duh? So now it is time for all good men who wish to be expendable and take your chances to join up and become a Goon for the Goon Squads. Hip Hip Hooray Yuk! This is truly a Man's world ain't it?

Answer 3

First of all, the ability to make a bomb from scratch means it's that much easier to make *more* of them if you need to; by contrast, depending on a foreign supplier is kind of dicey. Russia isn't necessarily willing to part with those nukes, either.

Second, the symbolic importance of being a nuclear power means that a country can present itself as equal in power to greater nations. It's like being invited to the grownups table. A nation which depends on another country for its nukes is just that, dependent.

Third, it's well known that Israel has several nuclear devices. By having a nuke of their own to wave, Iran is able to have a deterrent to an Israeli attack.

Fourth, Muslim nations have as much to fear from one another as from Israel of any western power. Primacy in having a nuclear deterrent makes the position of that nation more secure.

Fifth, the first Muslim nation which can credibly threaten to carry out their dream of wiping Israel out of existence becomes the de facto leader and champion of the Muslim world. This is particularly important to Iran, which represents a minority of the Muslim community and desperately needs a point of distinction to keep them from being eclipsed by other powers.

PS - In 1943 the US was still relying on 'inefficient' centrifuges too. Remember what happened two years later.

Answer 4

Iran is building a bomb for it's own defense. Bush listed Iran in his "Axis of Evil". He already "eliminated" one of the three "Evils". I would be worried if I was either of the two Left. I would build a bomb also to protect myself against this madman.

Answer 5

All this talk all the time about nuclear stuff can get pretty overwhelming, can't it?
Ever hear of the boogeyman?
I figure 9/10ths of what is said and written about the noo-killer threat is a load of horse hockey.
But if people aren't afraid of something,what will the politicians protect us from?

Answer 6

i develop into speaking with a pair of fellows who seem at that style of ingredient and they tell me there's a international of enormous difference between making 5%, that is what they can make, 20% that is what they're planning to make for enriched gas, and the ninety% necessary to make a bomb. they're years away. Their instantaneous purpose is in common terms to interrupt the oligopoly of gas rod manufacturers, the U. S. being #a million.

Answer 7

Iran doesnt have the rescources or the military might everyone thinks they have so not its not strange that they would have to start from scratch and get help from the Russians.
