Thanks for the explanation, you say our sanctions initially didn't do shit because we were alone in applying them, so how did we get a coalition to agree on placing sanctions if Iran continued trying to get a nuke if they didn't care before?

No, we applied them with a bunch of other people back when the US had credibility. It lost that credibility and the will to maintain sanctions was breaking down. The sanctions were effective for fucking shit up in Iran but ineffective for stopping a nuke and wouldn't keep working once China and Russia backed out, and they were backing out once it became clear that a) the sanctions wouldn't stop Iran getting a nuke, b) Iran was willing to negotiate to end the nuclear program if the US was willing to talk about it.

Iran came to the table and asked for a deal and even though the US didn't want to make a deal if enough people thought that Iran's deal was good the US wouldn't be able to refuse on behalf of everyone, if that makes sense. If Iran offered terms that Russia, China etc thought were totally reasonable and the US refused to negotiate then Russia and China could unilaterally call off their sanctions at which point it wouldn't matter what the US thought. And inversely, if Iran violates it now then it's Russia and China who look retarded for allowing them to resume their nuclear program, hence why their interests are now aligned with the US again.


Hypothetically if Iran and North Korea both had fully functional nuclear capability, I don't see their governments really doing anything reckless. They aren't completely insane and would simply use it as a deterrent or probably a bargaining chip. The main worry would be if radical extremist groups get their hands on it some how and then we are completely screwed. It's only a matter of time before N korea gets one, and Iran will also be able to aquire one but probably a decade behind schedule.

You don't see a country which has a large population of religious zealots, nor a country with an unstable statist chaotic mess of a government using nukes irresponsibly?

There's a reason why Pakistan is considered to be the most dangerous country in the world.



uhh sorry.. by who exactly ? Our nukes are quite well protected and the safeguards in place do not involve people sleeping at the door with a system that launches of a floppy disk.

The nukes are controlled by the military and for all its faults and the misery and regression it has caused, the military is at the least a stable institution that our neighbor 10 times are size still hesitates to fuck with.

The most dangerous country in the world is the one you are living in. Never try to convince yourself otherwise. The world has made peace with that fact but a little introspection never hurt anyone.

Oh and number 2 we have Saudi Arabia, if it werent for them you wouldnt have "radical islam" so really it all comes back full circle. I dont like this game but I dont appreciate someone with zero clue pointing fingers either.

The proliferation of nuclear weapons on the subcontinent is what led to trading knowledge and technology with North Korea, and together you're the two most likely countries to cause a nuclear war.

On the subject of introspection, ask yourself what role Pakistan had in helping the US hunt down Bin Laden.

It's documented that Pakistan and North Korea were exchanging ballistic missile and nuclear tech. This sort of clandestine activity is common among countries like Cuba, Pakistan, North Korea, and Iran as you pointed out. The last thing China wanted was a starving state with nuclear weapons right next to them which is evident by their changing foreign policy stance towards the DPRK now.

yeah they really did not give a shit about OBL. He is Americas problem, our problems are splinter groups some (our intelligence was in cahoots with till they lost control) and counter Afghan based Indian intelligence funded terror networks in Balochistan.

I agree it has nothing to do with the US election, so why bring up Pakistan ? And China is no saint, they are more than happy to have North Korea be a thorn because they have always been a leverage tool for then.

Im pretty anti nukes myself but there is no question that had we not proliferated the nukes, you would have seen the populist Indian govts doing whatever they wanted.

You keep saying you are worried about our nukes falling into the wrong hands and I am explaining to you that they are safer than US nukes. I would bet my house on it. For starters its not even like there are missiles hanging around ready to be fired. They are de assembled and spread out over various locations, then you have the codes and so and so forth. These are modern nukes not your 1960's built floppy disk open door WMD's like we have in the Dakotas.

All this nonsense about nukes falling into the wrong hands is typical Trumpism and fear mongering.

It served its purpose. I'm hoping it'll serve a new purpose now. As far as I'm concerned the Clinton 83/15/2 win stands. Also anyone who actually watched the debate, Trump supporter or not, knows that he had an implosion.

No crime was committed. The FBI confirmed this. The director specifically stated that if an FBI employee did the same thing, they would not be criminally charged, but would be in a lot of trouble. It wasn't criminal. Your desired to assume everyone is in the pocket of this vague group known as the "establishment" shows you don't have the ability to make decisions on your own. You need labels and categories to slot people into and then you can make your pre-determined choices based on what group they are in.

I guess it could be instructive to see how poorly Trump fans deal with losing. Once Trump loses in November and his less abashed supporters decide to riot, we can look back at this poll with quaint nostalgia

4chan's a helluva drug.

But on the other hand, we already know that TeamLiquid is statistically much more liberal than conservative, and one might wonder how much implicit confirmation bias appeared in the TL poll. I'm liberal and I think Hillary won and I don't think I'm being biased, but that doesn't mean I'm not biased

There are many Trump supporters who think like Trump. That if the internet says he did well, it must be true. It’s like the people who cite the number of dislikes on a youtube movie trailer showing that the movie is bad. Or the people who believe that the 5000 users on average Dota 2 subreddit is the “dota community” when like 13 million people play the game.

Trump lost the first debate hands down, but as we have seen this election, that doesn't translate negatively into polls for trump. He might even be going up.

When he went after the khan family, that was the only time I've seen him actually take hit in the polls

I guess it depends on what you mean by "lost"
I'd say he did poorly, and maybe a bit worse than average; and hillary did well, and a bit better than her average.
But I feel that "winning" in the context of the debate, really means whether you improved or worsened your odds of winning the election; and hence is mostly going to be assessed by the poll numbers. I don't have a good sense of how typical people will respond, as I, and everyone I know, are atypical people.

Im pretty anti nukes myself but there is no question that had we not proliferated the nukes, you would have seen the populist Indian govts doing whatever they wanted.

Not when it comes to North Korea being a rogue nuclear state. http://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2016/03/31/is-chinas-policy-toward-north-korea-changing/chinas-north-korea-policy-is-definitely-changing

You keep saying you are worried about our nukes falling into the wrong hands and I am explaining to you that they are safer than US nukes. I would bet my house on it. For starters its not even like there are missiles hanging around ready to be fired. They are de assembled and spread out over various locations, then you have the codes and so and so forth. These are modern nukes not your 1960's built floppy disk open door WMD's like we have in the Dakotas.

I don't know what you think you're referring to. If you disassemble a nuke enough it eventually stops being a nuke, I presume. You probably mean that the bomb cores have to be inserted, which is true of many kinds of weapons, it's not something inherent to Pakistan.

The bit about the US military being a worse steward of nuclear weapons than the Pakistani one is just a value judgment, nothing to argue.

All this nonsense about nukes falling into the wrong hands is typical Trumpism and fear mongering.

When I say this has nothing to do with the US election, I am responding to the way you keep trying to connect this to the Trump boogeyman like a child.

Clinton taking full responsibility for emails and saying she wouldn't do it again just makes any more questions besting a dead horse. What a relief.

She should be in jail then.

You're welcome to send a letter to the Department of Justice so that they can be made aware of their mistake.


Justice is only available for the weak.
But thanks to remind us the total impudence of the elite.

Justice is only a option for the weak????? So the strong don't get justice????

Being responsible for a mistake doesn't make it criminal.


Ahah, don't be more stupid that you really are. This little liberal and hypocrite rhetoric that you use cannot hide the fact that the laws is no the same for all and that the political elite, corporation, etablishment that Clinton is part of basically allow us to do anything she wants.
The strong doesn't care about justice unless it alienates the weak.

No crime was committed. The FBI confirmed this. The director specifically stated that if an FBI employee did the same thing, they would not be criminally charged, but would be in a lot of trouble. It wasn't criminal. Your desired to assume everyone is in the pocket of this vague group known as the "establishment" shows you don't have the ability to make decisions on your own. You need labels and categories to slot people into and then you can make your pre-determined choices based on what group they are in.


Oh nice, a liberal declares me not licensed to make a decision on my own. :D I guess I did good today, very good,
How cute you are my dear but sorry, I will continue to disturb the elite you represent as much as I can.

Right-wing Indian newspapers that hate Pakistan.
