It's hidden in Syria, right next to Saddam Hussein's WMDs, the Holy Grail, and D.B. Cooper.
I thought DB Cooper was sussed. Furthermore - we shouldn't leave the grail light on.
we shouldn’t leave the grail light on.
Oh, wicked, bad, naughty Zoot! She has been setting a light to our beacon, which, I've just remembered, is Grail shaped.
I suppose I could stick around for a bit.
If they weren't making weapons grade uranium before...
They sure as shit are now
and they should. they were just bombed by a nation known for its use of nuclear weapons on civilians. they need all the protection they can get.
The number one geopolitical strategic lesson of the past 10 years is "Get nukes and never ever ever give them up"
And not just Iran. But everyone will now rush to either build them or find friends who have plenty
Ukraine is the primary case study in my opinion, they gave up their nukes and got fucked for doing so
From what I read, Ukraine had no way of actually using the nukes they had.
True they didn't have access to the launch codes at that time.
But they had physical access, which means they could have reverse engineered the needed components in a couple years tops.
Pretty sure their parliament passed a law withdrawing from the Nuclear Nonproliferation treaty.
I don't get why they don't have one now though

As far as the NonProliferation Treaty goes, they are threatening to leave it, but haven't actually yet.
Gonna need some well balanced centrifuges for that.
So not mission accomplished? Or is this just priming another invasion?
Yes to both, as of the last I heard that there was no radiation detected after the strikes so the stockpiles were unlikely to be hit.
The mission was a failure and they will continue to use the spectrum of a threat even if they had hit the stockpile.
Assuming the stockpile is even singular in the first place...
I'm pretty sure they started moving it once the missiles from Israel started launching.
Unless many floor levels underneath a mountain wasn't secure from any missile anyway.
That'd make sense.
Arguably before if they have intel
So the mission that is likely to spark regional wars in the Middle East was either a success, or it wasn't. And Israel and Iran have agreed to a ceasefire, unless Iran hasn't.
Ladies and gentlemen, the Trump administration.
This is the reason and the ONLY reason I have hope we may get out of this - the absolute ineptitude and chaos will allow transition.
James Donald Bowman say what?
Is the orange bad going to get mad at him for saying it?
Alright Couch Fucker, why don't you do the whole human race a favor and go over there to personally find and reveal the Uranium. You cost probably just carry it out.
Put down the WMDs!
