The “soviets”?

I’ve never seen the IAEA so hawkish on Iran. Guess once Mohammad ElBaradei (or Hans Blix) is no longer your boss, you actually do your jobs there?

North Korea is no surprise. It's been well known the Nodong and Shahab missiles are joint projects based on old Soviet Scuds. Pakistan shouldn't surprise anyone, given the rock star treatment of A.Q. Khan. That POS shouldn't be breathing.

As far as the former Soviet assistance goes, some of that is our fault. You can thank Clinton and Operation Merlin for that debacle.

So far in history, only two nuclear weapons have been used against populated cities.

I fully expect that history will record within the next 20 months that one or two more nuclear weapons will be used against populated cities.

If Iran does do something nuclear against Israel, they will respond in kind. They may even do a preemptive strike. The real issue in my mind is Saudi Arabia and how they want to seek revenge for an attempted killing of one of their ambassadors. I would not be surprised to see a Saudi/Israel sponsored strike on Iran.
