@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidFine, but Iran has been chasing nuclear bombs only in the media!!
I think it's too late, in regards to North Korea. (This is not to say I support the current action against Iran).
For example, say I had two foes and didn't want either of them to have a knife, in case they attacked me with it. The first, Jeremy, aspired to have one, while Keith had already acquired one and carried it in his pocket, ready to use. - Now, although Ke ...[text shortened]... o stop him getting a weapon, might have some sense to it.
Jeremy is also a marginally worst name.
It was Netanyahu himself that said in 1992, that Iran was 3 to 5 yeas from getting the bomb!
Lying all the way
EDIT to add: Iran has never shown that it has the technology to make a nuke bomb
@Earl-of-Trumps saidHave a read :
I am wide awake and can tell you, I have always hated war, especially when we are fighting said war for someone else
wale up yourself.
Also, if America never put its military where it should not ever be, we would not have to worry about terrorism.
You notice, as an example, that Brazil never has to worry about terrorism
****************************
While there is no history of large-scale, domestic Islamic terrorism in Brazil, the country is a known hub for international terrorist financing, logistical support, and surveillance, particularly in the Tri-Border Area (Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay) involving groups like Hezbollah. Plots targeting Jewish or Western interests have been foiled.
Key details regarding Islamic terrorism concerns in Brazil include:
- Hezbollah Operations: The Tri-Border Area has long been identified as a hub for Hezbollah's illicit enterprises, including money laundering, drug trafficking, and fundraising, used to finance operations in the Middle East.
- Foiled Plots: Brazilian authorities have intervened in plots related to international extremist groups, including a 2023 operation (Operation Trapiche) that investigated Hezbollah-linked activities, as reported by Agência Brasil.
- ISIS Sympathizers: In 2016, a group known as Ansar al-Khilafah Brazil pledged allegiance to ISIS and threatened the Rio Summer Olympics, resulting in multiple arrests, according to Wikipedia.
- International Monitoring: Security agencies have flagged the activities of international terrorist groups such as Al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas, and Islamic Jihad in the region, according to Wikipedia.
While there are occasional arrests of supporters or individuals allegedly plotting attacks, these are usually described as isolated incidents or "amateur" cells, rather than widespread domestic terrorism, say reports from The New York Times.

Apparently Brazil is a supporter of Islamic terrorists. Is that where you would like to be?
@mike69 saidAs I said previously, the conventional military of NK is quite inferior to the forces ranged against it, making a tactical nuclear strike against SK more likely in the initial stages of any localized conflict. - And again, I think it unwise to have complacency on this scenario due to them living side by side for so long without this happening. - Before Russia went into Ukraine there was a similar complacency about such a scenario occurring.
And how long have they been side by side and this not happen, China and the US would have already been involved for this. I’m pretty sure we have two bases in South Korea, like I said. Also where is the nuclear fallout going to be spread with north and South Korea? They also don’t need nuclear to attack one another there is so much pointing back and forth and short distances ...[text shortened]... dad actually flew up and down the DMZ in a helicopter with the top general while he gave him a tour.
@AverageJoe1
Oh. So now it's "Muslims" that we have to fear??
Ok, what country is next to be neutered, Saudi Arabia...? Iraq...? Indonesia?
Joe, you are profoundly off the mark here.
@Earl-of-Trumps saidYes, its Islam that needs to be controlled. Any country with terrorists, or who support and finance terrorism are enemies, and there are many.

*********************************
Islamic terrorist groups, including affiliates of ISIS and al-Qaeda, are most active in the Sahel region, sub-Saharan Africa, and parts of the Middle East, with 2025 data showing the Sahel as the global epicenter. Key countries include Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, Somalia, Nigeria, DR Congo, Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
Key Countries and Regions Affected (2025–2026):
- Sahel Region: Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, Chad, and Nigeria are heavily impacted by groups like Boko Haram and various ISIS/al-Qaeda affiliates.
- Middle East: Syria and Iraq remain primary hubs for ISIS activity, along with Yemen.
- Africa: Somalia (Al-Shabaab), DR Congo (ADF), and Mozambique.
- Asia: Afghanistan (IS-Khorasan), Pakistan (TTP), India, Philippines, and Indonesia.
Other Areas: Iran and Turkey have also seen activity from regional affiliates.
The Global Terrorism Index 2025 indicates that ISIS remains the deadliest organization, with 71% of its activity concentrated in Syria and the DRC, while the Sahel accounts for over half of all global terrorism deaths.

@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidNo, both have plenty to destroy one another look up estimated death rates between them with and without nuclear. Like I said we have a lot of military there, and you think the US and China would let things get to that point unless a ww3 scenario was in play. China likes a nuclear Nk and allowed it for this reason not to cover everyone in the area with nuclear fallout in a conflict between north and South Korea that benifits no one. All of this while Iran has been attacking since they came to power. The rest of the world like where you live should give a big thank you instead of having liberal snowflakes in power, pushing these country destroying policies.

So after all this do you really believe someone who has never came close to being a threat like Iran over the last 47 years is more of a danger than those actually being one to the world.
@sh76 saidsh76,
NK may not like us, but Dear Leader doesn't sponsor terrorism around the world and doesn't constantly agitate about us as the Great Satan.
As long as we leave them along, they're probably not a threat.
Of course, if the day ever comes that they seriously start threatening to invade South Korea, or if they use their proxies to blow stuff up in SK or Japan, it will be a very different story.
Iran can't threaten the US. I personally think that Iran is being punished for Hamas' war with Israel.
And here is what I know that is fact: It has never been shown that Iran has the technology to make a nuke bomb.
But if you listen to the media, well, you know the rest.

@Earl-of-Trumps saidWe don’t know how much help China and russia have been to their nuclear program, but it defiantly helps them when their allies like Nk and Iran have them. We know they have enough uranium enriched to almost start making them, how safe will the world be with a nuclear Iran and is it worth the huge threat to the world compared to NK. The sleeper cells here are a scary thought thanks to biden and Harris letting illegals come in we know nothing about mainly military aged men, like Europe and everyone else doing nothing about it.

@mike69 saidThe problem Mike is that Trump at some stage (when he gets a feeling in his bones) will say "job done" in Iran and claim they are no longer a threat or capable of getting nuclear weapons etc. He will do this for economic reasons (more than anything else) even if the Iranian regime are still in power. (Which is highly likely).

What then for the Iranian civilians who hate the regime but are still not capable of overthrowing it, even if it is in a weaken state. Repression against them will be even more violent and their economy (and infrastructure) utterly destroyed.
Trump has no long term plan (or concern) for the Iranian people, other than to encourage them to rise up themselves. - You'll get no thank you for that from me.

Right. Because every time they get close, we stop them, either by agreement or by force.
You're telling me that they wouldn't have a nuke yet if we didn't keep stopping them? Please.
@Earl-of-Trumps saidI say Trump has concluded that Iran is an immediate threat. I will spare the obvious evidence.. Ghost says he has not reached such a conclusion. ahhhh, the joy of debate.
@AverageJoe1 said - Because Trump is real smart. He knows about Korean ICBM’s, but has reached a conclusion that Iran is an immediate threat.
============
Trump reached no such conclusion, AJoe.
We are fighting this war for Israel. But don't the spin masters make it sound so vital to America's needs, eh?
Wake up, Joe.
And, he purports to know 'America's needs'. Hahaha. Shouse thinks we NEED to have a giveaway program, USAID.
Sue and Marauder think we NEED to let people vote without proving that they are citizens. If a guy comes in to my granny's house where she is hosting her bridge club for a vote on how many decks of cards to buy, Marauder and Sue have both told me, without even responding, that they think the guy should be allowed to vote. Of course, Ghost would think the same thing.
So,,,,Needs...Tell us about American Needs, Ghost, I have missed those closed door meetings.
@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidShut up Ghost. We don't need to hear from a brit about the war, ,,,,,,,,has everyone seen the news, check out this link, Starmer (that is PM of UK, a lot of us have never heard of him, or the president of Romania, or any of them for that matter, all losers)........

Anyway PM Starmer is sending a ship, maybe two, to the conflict area,,,,,,,they will get there when Trump has wrapped it all up. Trump said turn your ships around, I can do it without you. ( you can't get stuff by AvJoe, Goose Ghost>😉
Here is a link for you fellers, because you DON'T know about such matters. Pitiful. Recall that we saved UK from Hitler.
@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidGhost, you are trying to look smart? You say NK is more likely attack SK than the USA??????
I think NK is much more likely to act independently in attacking SK with nuclear weapons than it would in attacking the US.
I think SK is far less likely to initiate.
Golly, send us some more fodder to think about.
I actually read this post twice!!!!! Congrats, a post that caused AvJoe to re-read!!!!
