Iran and the "Deal"

[Speedfreak]

I wasn't aware icbm's are only created with nuclear capabilities. Can be any long range missile no?

They can, but long range is not intercontinental. So ask your self, "What would Iran need ICBMs for?" All of their supposed enemies are on the same continent. They're not going to point them at Russia or China.

Having an arsenal is what all country's do when trying to establish themselves again. Who doesn't have insane weapons in their aresenal? This world could end a thousands of times over with the explosives held by countries. The actual risk of one being launched is low. Fear is a tactic that's been used for all of history, and it will not stop. Since the last time major explosives were used, the likelihood of it happening again, outside of a major world war are slim. If we are in that situation, all bets are off anyway, as many countries could end the world if they wanted to. No need to worry about icbm's or nuc's in general imo.

True, but there is a difference depending on who has them. Iran keeps the "Death to America" out in the open, even after this "deal", so wouldn't it be reasonable that some crazy religious fanatics could launch them our way? It's not completely out of the possibility.

Nah, North Korea says the same crap. Ain't gonna happen. It's all positioning.

Yeah, but Korea isn't promised a big ol pile of virgins either. LoL

Lets not forget, they get 24 days notice before any inspection is allowed.

And even if they dont fire them themselves who's to stop they from selling or having them stolen.

Based on the absolute lack of control in that region.

Its pretty much like saying hey give Cuba back there nukes. Which based on obama's recent drive to open up negotiations with them. Im sure hell say its ok for them to have them as well with the decisions hes been making lately just seems like the trend
