@randahl Putin needs #oil prices to rise, so look for his puppet #POTUS #DonaldTheDeplorable to start a 2nd #WarForOil , but with #Iran instead of George W. Bush’s #Iraq. Of course failure to renegotiate the #IranNuclearDeal will take the place of the #WMD ‘yellow cake’ lie.
The Greatest National Security Threat Our Nation Has Ever Faced Is Named Donald Trump.
He must be impeached, convicted, and removed immediately.
If this rumour is true, then there it is, folks: declaring #fentanyl a #WMD leads to more emergency powers, and provides the pretext for attacking #Mexico and #Canada — Canada, who receives a far greater influx of fentanyl coming in from the States, than going out.

Today in Labor History March 17, 1968: The U.S. Army Chemical Corps killed over 6,000 sheep while illegally testing a nerve gas agent at the Dugway Proving Ground in Skull Valley, Utah. A 1998 report, the by Air Force Press was the "first documented admission" from the Army that a nerve agent killed the sheep at Skull Valley. The incident inspired Stephen King's novel “The Stand.”

"Pentagon Cuts Threaten Programs That Secure Loose Nukes and Weapons of Mass Destruction"
What could go wrong?

"US agencies responsible for preventing the global proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and building security capacity around the world are facing deep cuts, perhaps total abolition, as the Trump administration continues its assault on any and all spending going overseas.
According to a draft working paper provided to WIRED, the Department of Defense is asking all its agencies and services that conduct “security cooperation” programs to consider the impact if the Pentagon were to “realign” its funding. The authors of the paper warn the cuts could hobble the fight against organized crime in South America, impair the battle against the Islamic State, increase the likelihood of a rogue state producing and using chemical weapons, and defund pandemic surveillance measures.
The working paper is in response to a request for information from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, asking agencies to assess the consequences of four levels of staff reduction—25 percent, 50 percent, and 75 percent cuts, or outright abolition."

I'm increasingly thinking the middle east would be much safer and more stable if Iran already had #NuclearWeapons
Ideally NOBODY would have nukes, but if both sides had nukes then Israel might be much more restrained with their own use of conventional weapons.
Nuclear weapons are usually used without detonating them.

Unconfirmed: Iranian government have sent a message to Biden administration and #IAEA that if any Iranian nuclear facility is attacked by Israel, they will remove their #NPT signature and stop cooperating with the #UN and #EU and will reserve it's right to take all necessary measures to defend their country against nuclear armed "Zionist entity" .
This comes after a group of hardline members of Iranian parliament (Majles) signed a letter to #Khamenei (who is the spiritual leader and head of Iranian defense forces) to reverse his #Fatwa about illegality of nuclear weapons in Islam and allow the scientists of armed forces to develop a nuclear weapon.
A fatwa by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran, against the acquisition, development and use of nuclear weapons[1] dates back to the mid-1990s.[2] The first public announcement is reported to have occurred in October 2003, followed by an official statement at a meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna in August 2005.
Source: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ali_Kh…
The fatwa was not directly about nuclear weapons, but any form of WMD, production, storage and use of such weapons were declared "Haram", but it also said that in case the country was subjected to such weapons, they will have to permission to use them against "legitimate" targets.
The issue was clarified officially on the wwb site of Khamenei:
english.khamenei.ir/news/8398/…
In our opinion, in addition to nuclear weapons, all other kinds of weapons of mass destruction – including chemical and biological weapons - are considered to be a serious threat against humanity as well. Having been the victim of chemical weapons, the Iranian nation feels even more than other nations the danger of producing and storing such weapons. Therefore, the nation is ready to use all its resources in the effort to confront them. We consider the use of these weapons to be religiously forbidden, and we believe the effort to immunize all human beings from this grave tragedy is everyone’s responsibility.

The best part of the new Dune movie? The nukes worked without testing. Also without a stockpile stewardship program.
Remember in 2001 when #GeorgeWBush allowed (if not aided) a #TerroristAttack on #American soil on #911 #NineEleven after having been publicly and privately warned about it ahead of time and then exploited that #September11th #Terrorism just to "shock and awe" the world, invade and occupy sovereign nations, and maim and kill hundreds of thousands of people in #Afghanistan and #Iraq with Bush #LIES about #WMD #WMDs #WeaponsOfMassDestruction for #Politcal #Gain and #Fnancial #Profit for himself, his family, friends and colleagues by being #Haliburton #Blackwater #Warmongers #Warprofiteers all to "unite the country" behind his desire to be a "war time president" for #ANewAmericanCentury after losing the popular vote and being installed by #SCOTUS?
Well... "Bibi" sure does!
