After Months of War, Trump Says Iran Has Right to Nuclear Program
Trump now says it’s just “common sense” for Iran to have a nuclear program.

So all those billions spent, 10s of them at a minimum, maybe 100s. All those decades passing, all those research & production sites... Iran has 0.0 bombs to show for it. Because 🎵 it's so easy to build a bomb! 🎵

Again: it's easy to put the pieces together. It's hard to build them from scratch.

The Manhattan bombs were relatively simple. They used a lot of material to hit critical mass. Modern bombs are far more technical and use way less material so they can be shot into space & stuff. Refining all that material is a physical challenge: one has no choice but to use brute force & lots of time when starting with Yellowcake.

This is retarded liberal 'logic', starting with your conclusion and then grasping at straws to 'prove' it. Effect therefore cause.

In their case they say 90% of arrests are black therefore discrimination. In your case you say no bombs so it must be hard to do. It might be discrimination, it might be hard, but that's not how this works.

But liberals are actually smarter because in their case they know the stat, but you don't even know whether Iran has a bomb or how much material they have; they might have ten bombs or enough enriched for fifty - all we know is they haven't detonated a bomb because that's nearly impossible to hide from seismic sensors and would become public. So you're basing your (false) belief about it being hard on another belief not evidence.

Think about how retarded that logic is, you could just as well say high speed rail is extremely hard because CA is spending hundreds of billions and only have like a mile done - hard for CA, not hard for China. It's not the thing itself that's difficult.

Huh? Now you think high-speed rail is "easy"? It isn't, it requires technology AND political willpower. The French bulldozed many historic buildings (Europe is covered with them, eh?) and told many towns to stfu, here comes the rails! Can't do that in the USA.

If Iran had a Bomb? They'd have "tested it" on Tel Aviv & you know it. Maybe Bagdad, they're still pretty pissed at Iraq too.

It isn't nearly so, it is impossible to hide a nuclear blast. There zillions of sensors all over the planet looking for earthquakes. Even here on the Canadian Shield because it is so quiet! We get great data. But even NK's first Bomb test, a puny one, showed up. They tend to have a distinct signature. NK's next 2 tests were quite a bit larger, there's no doubt they have the Bomb.

I simply know for a fact it is VERY hard to enrich yellowcake uranium to weapons grade. It either takes a lot of time and a lot of equipment OR a "breeder" reactor like CanDu. Not an actual breeder but one with highly enriched "waste".
Pakistan had all the tech from Russia and a reactor to hasten things along & it still took over 8 years. Does that sound easy?

Oooooh okay, I finally get it!

You're saying it would be hard for you to do it. Like, how do you even do eminent domain, is that like a form you fill out from the county supervisor's office? It's so confusing!

So yeah, you're totally right, it would be extremely hard for you to do these things.

Very funny. It's hard for any nation to do from scratch. If they get help & shortcuts then it's "comparatively easy" ok? 8 years for Pakistan, not 8 months.

It's easy to build a car... if you have some of the parts & a pre-built motor & transmission. And the tools to make parts from scratch, and the skilled technicians to assemble them. Easy! Just 2-3 years, tops. This is to meet all the safety laws, of course. Unless an A-Bomb is built perfectly? It won't go boom properly, there's no "half-assing" them like using some duct tape to hold your busted side-mirror on.
