              @wtg

              I read the first line of your post as “IKEA assessment”. I presumed the story was gonna say that it was going to be hard to put back together….

                  It has to be enriched to 90%. It's in the range of industrial use at 60%, iirc.

                  This isn't about nuclear weapons according to the international monitoring agency and US intelligence.

                  How could it be when it's about regime change?

                  Let's put aside Israel and its nonsense starting this war, there seems to be something about the American masses wanting to be lied to and frightened out of their wits.

                  These regime change wars have led to disaster and this one would be no exception.

                      Who is expecting regime change? The Iranians don't think it, I don't from the news we hear, however nice it might be to have some kind of democracy.
                      If it does happen years from now then you'll probably see a military dictatorship come to power.
                      Israel will continue being the only western style democracy in the area for decades to come.

                      This 12 day war was all about stopping the regions greatest sponsor of terror, of destabilisation, becoming an even worse bully.
                      Iranian influence including that of it's proxies has been greatly diminished and that is a good thing.

                        Western democracies don't practice aparteid, collective punishment, mass torture, forced starvation, the targeting of civilians, and genocide.

                        Israel is no "democracy." How absurd.

                          Release the Israeli hostages!

                          On paper, with their pepole over 18 voting, multi-party system and more frequent elections leading to coalition governments, their democracy is at least as valid as yours?

                          Problem is their neighbours, troublesome people they have to live with (something with which I'd have thought you'd have empathy).

                          Seems they've tried forms of integration, mediation, separation, now they're being forced into isolation.

                          Release the hostages!
                          I have grave doubts as to the innocence of many Gazan civilians.
