My wife and I confessed to eachother not really knowing what was in the news. I went looking and find this pretty interesting:
Leaked US cables show that Australia sees the Iranian nuclear programme as a “deterrent,” a sharply contrary view to that of most Western countries. The leaks also reveal that Australia doesn’t share the assessment that Iran is a “rogue state.”
Also, Australian intelligence agencies fear Israel may launch a military strike on Iran to knock out its nuclear facilities, which they said could trigger a nuclear war…
I see they’ve played knifey spooney before. I’m always bothered by the idea of a country with like forty percent of the more than 22000 total warheads getting to close the barn door after itself. No nation should want to need nuclear weapons. It’s repellent to stall any effort to reduce the number. We really need more than 1550 ready to launch? Who are we fighting— the entire inner Solar System?
(I don’t know why it has the 3d glasses thing on— to avoid copyright protection? Pretty irritating.)
