"theoretically be used"..... "considered a significant proliferation risk"......... The last link you posted was article from 1998.That was five years before the war in Iraq ever started and it was found they possessed no WMD. And none of those assertions actually say that 60% enrichment is considered weapons grade uranium.
You're really reaching for air with little life support left.
Not having WMDs isn't the same as not trying to make WMDs. If a terrorist (or radical government) is trying to make a WMD, do you wait until they finish making it to try to stop them from making it? That makes no sense. Once they've made it, they can use it. That possibility should be avoided.
Weapons grade and able to be used in a weapon are separate but overlapping ideas. I used weapons grade colloquially because I thought it was easy to understand, but unfortunately, it is also possible for a "bad actor" to be deliberately obtuse.

Iran has been chanting "Death to America" for 47 years. How long will it take before you stop trying to use that as excuse?
Our NATO allies were there in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Revisionist history doesn't change that. If they felt these actions were justified they would be there. They're not.
I'll stop using it as a reason when they stop saying it. Official government representatives chanting death to another country will always be a problem for me.
I never said NATO allies weren't there. The only revisionist history is you trying to say that I said things that I didn't say.
I think you are overlooking a few things as far as why they might not be there. NATO is already in a standoff with Russia over Ukraine and wants to avoid a direct confrontation with Russia. Russia supports Iran. Here's a video on NATO preparing for a potential war with Russia:
There's also the they don't trust our military leadership to not screw things up potential angle, which I can also understand.
But, having said all that, you still can't just let Iran have that HEU. And we're the ones with the target on our backs. They don't chant death to NATO.
Please clarify what you mean, because this can go many ways lol
You can probably take it in all ways, but primarily traffic, sprawl, crime.
So just like every other place where you have a large concentration of people in a small area?
Atlanta doesn't even rank in the top 25....................
Most Dangerous Places in the U.S. in 2026-2027
Crime rate can be one of the deciding factors of where families settle down. Based on each city's murder and property crime rates per 100,000 people, determined by FBI crime reports, these are the most dangerous places to live in the United States.
In case you missed it, the head of the biggest scam program in Minneapolis is a white woman. The people involved are being investigated, convicted and sent to prison for their crimes.
The slush fund is being used to reward people who have committed crimes.
What the hell is wrong with you that you can't see the difference?
And the question could become, if Monkin doesn't develop some of that "1st round" talent will it be the fault of Monkin for not developing that talent or will it be the talking heads were wrong about their evaluations on some of those picks?
If you eliminate major costs you foresee while working, then things are simpler, so I agree. We have set up savings and investments every pay. We "practiced" budgeting before retirement while we only received one payday a month. We are comfortably set. More than that, we are happy with what we have; my wife is a blessing because we share priorities. The Shaker motto was good advice that smacks of Transcendentalism: "Simplify, simplify." Control what you can.
As I said earlier, simple is the name of the game, especially if you plan on doing most of it yourself. Leave the complicated to the people who can afford personal secretaries, a team of accountants, and lawyers. Complicated takes a mental toll if you plan to do it yourself.
888 keeps insisting tax payers don't pay anything for National Parks. Lies are lies even when one doesn't realize one is doing it.
I made an error which I am happy to accept and acknowledge - something most won't do on here. And if anyone was to keep a score of the lies and the misinformation that is spammed on these boards, then one group of posters win by a land slide and it isn't the guys who don't like Trump.
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office filed charges against an ICE agent in connection with the January shooting of Julio Sosa-Celis, a Venezuelan national, in Minneapolis.
Christian J. Castro, 52, is facing four counts of second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon and one count of falsely reporting a crime.
ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis
The backstory:
The ICE-involved shooting took place near the 600 block of 24th Avenue North just before 7 p.m. on Jan. 14.
Initial reporting detailed federal agents were pursuing a man in a vehicle who had crashed into a snowbank. The man then ran to a nearby home, where a pursuing agent caught up with him and attempted to make an arrest.
An "altercation" between the agent and suspect then ensued, which led to two other people arriving from a nearby apartment, and all three attacking the officer – one armed with a broomstick, according to DHS.
"Fearing for his life and safety as he was being ambushed by three individuals, the officer fired a defensive shot to defend his life," DHS initially claimed.
Julio Sosa-Celis, 24, a Venezuelan national, was taken to the hospital for treatment of a non-life-threatening gunshot wound, while Alfredo Alejandro Aljorna, 26, was also arrested in its aftermath.
Both men were charged with assaulting a federal agent in the aftermath of the altercation, but the DOJ later requested the charges be dismissed with prejudice, writing in a motion that, "newly discovered evidence in this matter is materially inconsistent with the allegations in the complaint affidavit."
Big picture view:
The shooting occurred one week after the fatal shooting of Renee Good by ICE officers and ten days before the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by federal officers. ICE agents under federal investigation
Dig deeper:
The U.S. Attorney’s Office later opened a criminal investigation into two ICE officers after video evidence allegedly showed the agents’ sworn testimony included "untruthful statements."
Court filings filed after the shooting showed the ICE officers’ accounts of the moments leading up to the shooting differed significantly from testimony provided by the two defendants and multiple eyewitnesses.
SoS is based on the previous year's results (which itself takes into account it's own SoS), but each team has turned over as much as 25-35% of its roster and 30% of all teams have new head coaches, staffs, and systems.
So, it sounds good, but there really isn't much you can reliably take away from it. It's predicting this year's corn crop based on last year's tomatoes.
According to most on draft day, this guy was massively overdrafted, and supposedly not on any team's radar.
I think this just reinforces that most draftniks & sites just really don't know and that reality is disguised by the ability to pick a lot of low-hanging "no-brainer" fruit in drafts. That said, the same applies to all front offices as well, given how many misses there are each year.
They're making a guess on future performance in one system against higher quality talent based on past performances in other systems against decidedly lower talent.... sometimes you'll hit, sometimes you won't.
Maybe you can tell me what crimes they have been convicted of and how many felony counts they were found guilty of? I can show you 34 felony counts trump was convicted on. Let me guess. The fact trump was convicted on 34 felony counts is the fault of the democrats, right? Tell me how it was those evil dems who convicted him and not a jury. Or how it wasn't a jury who found he was libel for sexually assaulting a woman? Let me guess, you have a list of excuses for that one too? Tell me how every election trump or republicans win isn't rigged but every time a democrat wins an election you people claim it was rigged?
Or maybe you can explain this one though I know you will ignore it and just post more BS.... After Trump ordered the bombing on Iran's nuclear facilities in June of 2025 he proclaimed that they, "obliterated Iran's nuclear program setting it back several years if not decades." Then just eight months later he claimed that Iran was less than a month away from having a nuclear weapon. So which of those two times was he lying?
And let's not forget this one. On April 18th, 2026, President Trump claimed Iran "agreed to everything" in negotiations, including removing enriched uranium, ceasing proxy support, and keeping the Strait of Hormuz open.
Once again you prove that every accusation you make is just a confession. Do you call the fact I pointed out that trump has been convicted on 34 felony counts "hate"? Do you call me pointing out that trump made two opposite claims about Iran's nuclear program one of which has to be a lie hate? Because that's usually what you call it when we presented with the facts.
You have TDS. Trump devotion syndrome. No matter what he does, no matter what he says, no matter how many times he lies to you, you remain devoted to him.
