      Honestly, that gives me hope. That if we ever get our shit together, the world might be a better place despite our worst efforts.

          Yeah, doesn’t Iran also directly fund some of the most irredeemable kinds of terrorists? They definitely kill their own protesting students without remorse. Like Trump intends to.

            Yes, but didn’t you know, it doesn’t matter the kinds of atrocities they are responsible for, if they don’t like the US they are the good guys.

              Honestly, when judging the actions of large organization such as governments it is best not to rely on simplistic “good guy”/ “bad guy” narratives. It might be best to judge each action on its own merit since it might be entirely different parts of the organization performing each action or making each statement.

              Hell, the whole “good guy”/“bad guy” thing barely works on individuals.

      I think that’s more about Iran wanting uranium and not so much Canada’s nuclear weapons program.

          What? It only takes time and effort and a few hundred million dollars of non-tampered machinery.

            You need a reasonably capable semiconductor industry or partnership with somebody that has one.

            I do think Iran has both of those, but I’m not an expert. Anyway, they had a major setback once because they were relying on electronics trafficked from Germany.

              That’s not how stuxnet works. I’m not a tanky by any means. I’m an American and we had to hire a swedish operative to infiltrate their closed Gap systems and insert a rubber ducky. The problem wasn’t that the machinery came from Germany. The problem was we paid off a swedish guy to rape the software.

                Do you think Chinese military ADCs are vulnerable to Windows 0-day attacks?

                People would have a much harder time if Iran had a proper sourcing of their equipment.
