I may forward this to a cousin in Germany that told me that “iran is no problem.” Stupid Lib...now maybe she’ll change her tune..Germany is a lot closer to Iran than the US.Ha.

When they say “explosion”, do they mean a true nuclear blast? Or a scattering of radioactive crap. I’m wondering because the article mentions a million would have nee killed on a blast and the resulting radiation.
I was under the impression that reactors like this really couldn’t reach critical mass, quickly enough to detonate in a true nuclear blast. That they would always end in a fizzle and meltdown that spreads nasty stuff around.

Russia is helping to send Iran into total planetary nutcase territory. Surely it can’t believe this is a good idea even for them.

Wait until the Muslem Brotherhood shows up on their doorstep, armed with presents from Uncle Iranovoskovitch.

I predict Russia gets hit with one of the Iran offshoot nukes before we do. Karma’s a bitch...

I sure hope the iranians (small i used to denote disrespect) don’t find out that the russians are in on the sabotage.

The Stuxnet virus which attacked Iran’s nuclear program two years ago was back and had tampered with the reactor’s computers.

First we had wild SUVs attacking. Now we have computers dropping bolts into a sealed chamber.

Not sure how a virus puts several small bolts into the bottom of the reactor vessel. I’d probably lean toward sabotage.

Too bad it didn’t work. I mean the cheaper the oil, the better, but it’d have ended any support Iran had from other countries for its nuclear program. More would get on board to prevent these incompetent numbnuts from going nuclear than ever before.

Well now! It’s really out in the open, Iran is a Russian Client and from my point of view a probable partner in M.E. Terrorism.

Wishing chaos confusion and doom on these allah besotted idiots. Hang in there Israel! I like the Persian people and their hot chicks. They have high IQ. They need to shuck off their Muslim oppressors
