    Iran’s nuclear programme is a grave threat to international security, and Canada has been consistently clear that Iran can never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon.

    While U.S. military action taken last night was designed to alleviate that threat, the situation in the Middle East remains highly volatile. Stability in the region is a priority.

    Canada calls on parties to return immediately to the negotiating table and reach a diplomatic solution to end this crisis. As G7 leaders agreed in Kananaskis, the resolution of the Iranian crisis should lead to a broader de-escalation of hostilities in the Middle East, including a ceasefire in Gaza.

          These idiots are building fake outrage and risking world peace to stroke their egos and install authoritarian regimes designed to increase the funneling of wealth from the havenots to the haves. Fuck this war, fuck any wars. Go fight them yourselves.

            Honestly part of me is agreeing that bombing these sites was good as long as they were building towards a nuke. If all this blows over in a month like a lot of things do lately, it is a bit of a safer world.

              Its called military keynesianism. Its how the US creates dollars, which are then imported into Europe and the globe.

              Places like Europe, Canada, and China maintain a net export with the US, importing USD, which stabilizes their currency. The US imports debt and runs a large deficits in order to supply USD to the world. This is what Trump seemingly wants to milk to drop corporate tax, and thus Europe now has to build up their military, in order for their economic system to continue to function without USD.

                  Why?

                  Why is Iran’s nuclear programme such a grave threat? A grave threat, as opposed to… What exactly?

                  What makes China, Pakistan, Russia, India, or North Korea less of a threat?

                              Either everyone gets nukes or no one gets nukes. Iran has every right to have them. Fuck I’d rather they have em than the Zionists next door who basically run a death cult.

                              And Ill wager any “nuke” that ever goes off in North America will end up being an Israeli false flag.

                                This wont be blown over in a month though, all of the intelligence was saying they were not building bombs. If they had ever had the ability to build a bomb I am sure they would have let the world know about it, having nukes are nothing more than deterrence now people have seen the devastation they can do if they are armed and dropped hell they know the devastation and destruction they can do if they are just dropped without being armed.

                                Iran now has bigger enemies that there traditional iron dome cannot even protect them in the least. The uranium they were enriching for the power plant, medicine, and research now has a fourth use ‘dirty bombs.’ If they had no plans on making a weapon of mass destruction, as all evidence suggests, they do now.

                                  Would American intelligence reveal that they know they’re building nukes if they had that information?

                                      Then what are these facilities?

                                      Would American intelligence reveal that they know they’re building nukes if they had that information?

                                      You can refine uranium for power. Prior to trump breaking deals the Iranians had very low potent uranium. Mostly made up of 3.25 refinement. USA had dropped sanctions in agreement for not processing uranium past 20%. That was fine till trump got in power and broke the deal. Then they started refinement up to 60%. So there could be potential to further refine uranium over 90% purity to make weapons, but the amount they had was tiny, till trump fucked the deal

                                        Why?

                                        Why is Iran’s nuclear programme such a grave threat? A grave threat, as opposed to… What exactly?

                                        What makes China, Pakistan, Russia, India, or North Korea less of a threat?

                                        To take the other side (not sure I agree):

                                        Iran is unique in that it is run by a government that claims to be Islamic fundamentalists. This could make mutually assured destruction less effective if the ones launching the nukes truly believe that if they die in the retaliation they will go to heaven with their 72 virgins.

                                        I’m not convinced that the Ayatollah is ok dying in the name of killing infidels, but I do see the merits of this argument.

                                          I totally agree trump fucked the deal. He’s an absolute narcissist. He wants to tear down anything from Democrats. He wants to put his name on everything.

                                          But at the end of the day, I’m kind of rooting for him here. I’m hoping this all blows over quickly and we’re in a world where Iran’s ability to develop nuclear weapons is crippled
