I'm pretty sure I'd rather go to jail than get flown overseas to wander around a mountain until I get shot in the head. It seems about ten times more preferable. you might get presented with a white feather or be humiliatingly owned on the twitters

baka kaba posted:devil's advocate time - is there any proof that Iran is necessarily stepping up its weapons program (which would be understandable tbh) and not just going ahead with building the modern nuclear power infrastructure they've been denied? Like isn't 4.5% purity fairly standard for modern reactors, and still not really even close to where you can start cascading it into the 95% purity you need for weapons? The required isotope purity for reactor grade uranium is about 97% U-238 and 3% U-235 from naturally occurring Uranium mined out of the ground which is 99.3% U-238. One of the main stays of the Iran Nuclear Deal was to allow them to enrich to 3.67% U-235 for reactor grade uranium to use in their own nuclear power program but prevent them from being able to experiment with refining it to a higher degree (which to get it to weapons grade would be 97% U-235 but the process is just refining the purer U again and again.) Once the US pulled out of the deal they've been declaring whenever they've exceeded the allowed threshold (4.5% U-235 in July 2019 and again in November 2019) but now the breaks are totally off for them to start refining up to weapons grade for their own nukes. A uranium gun-type nuclear fission device is elementary to build, the difficult bit has always been getting ahold of enough U-235 (conversely for a plutonium bomb you can pick up as much Pu-239 out of the reactor runoff as you want but the hard part about making a Pu device is getting the implosion lenses to all go off simultaneously) Richard Muller (no relation) has a really good lecture on nukes - ironically the series is titled 'Physics for Future Presidents' and includes really good primer skills that the current occupant will absolutely not have: https://archive.org/details/ucberkeley_webcast_5BHdsjo-NR4

Why hasn't Johnson been sighted today, is he Donald Orange after his two weeks in Mustique? Normally they make a big song and dance with photos etc at the first cabinet of a parliamentary session

What is Qasem Soleimani supposed to have done that makes him a terrorist and it being such a good thing he was killed? there's a really interesting This World program on Sulemani that aired on Monday night after Newsnight: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0003871 tldr he was head of the iranian quds forces who trained up Shi'a militias that went on to kill a bunch of ARE BOYS in Basra when the uk/us went in in 2003-7

i hope it was because of the yougov poll yesterday that asked you to rate each candidate on characteristics such as 'out for themselves' 'arrogant' and 'smug' (there were positive ones too they were just the ones i selected for jessflaps)

Johnson tried to dump the HS2 decision out with the brexit trash and the only reason any of the media are reporting on it is because a 10 year old kid asked him about it https://twitter.com/SophyRidgeSky/status/1223273814131453954
