Iran Opens Its First Nuclear Power Plant
pickens writes "VOA reports that Russian and Iranian engineers have begun loading fuel into Iran's first nuclear power plant located in the southern city of Bushehr amid international fears that Iran will use the facility to make nuclear weapons, a charge both Tehran and the Kremlin vehemently deny. Officials say it will take about two to three months for the plant to start producing electricity once all of the fuel rods have been moved into the reactor. The production capacity of the plant will initially be 500 megawatts, but will eventually increase to 1,000 megawatts. Earlier this year, Washington criticized Russia for going ahead with the planned opening of the plant amid global disagreement and concern over Iran's alleged nuclear weapons program. Moscow did, however, back a fourth round of sanctions against Tehran, which called for Iran to stop uranium enrichment."
If i had mod points right now I would mod you up
You mean like the way Israel was created on the blood of the Palestinians who had lived there for how long? Israel's friends came in and blew the Palestinians to shit and now Israel keep them literally fenced in, kept down. Israel's equivalent to Hamas would be it's own armed forces, the amount of innocent Palestinians killed by them would far outweigh any damage from Hamas/Hezbollah. Maybe read a book other than "America Fuck Yeah!"
Oil is blood, both literally and figuratively speaking.
BP feeds on blood. BP (then Anglo Persian Oil Company) has caused the UK and US to overthrow the democratic government of Iran just to get a little better contract on extracting the oil there.
Then later BP caused a major disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.
I think BP is actually a vampire.
You can't handle the truth.
not the above comment is 'Flamebait' but USA as a country is a Flamebait.
You can't handle the truth.
You seriously want someone who has vowed to use them to have nukes? They've said time and time again that they will attack the US, UK, and Israel as soon as they obtain nukes and you support this? I'm the kind of guy that believes people when they say things (especially crazy things like wanting WWIII to reveal the last imam) and I fully support taking these guys out before they can continue with their crazy plans.
Lol. Many countrys have nuclear bombs and only one was retarded enough to use it... twice. I dont think the world has any lesson to take, in that subject, from that particular county.
Do you honestly believe that if Saddam left the Iraqi government US wouldn't have invaded? After all, it's making a killing there. Get it? A killing.
Literally killing millions AND figuratively making trillions first in military and now mostly in private contracts.
Is anybody left in the world not understanding why US starts wars? For profit of its military industrial complex. AFAIC, I'd rather have ideologies and ideologues leading countries than sell outs who are after a buck.
So if you are so set against Iran seeking the destruction of Israel (which is none of my business, what do I care if Israel is destroyed?) then why didn't US attack Iran in the first place after the 9/11? Bush and Romney and Cheney were already lying through the teeth about Iraq's role in 9/11 and about those WMDs, why couldn't they have gone after a 'more legitimate' target?
Because again, it's about the money.
AFAIC the intentions of USA are MUCH MORE CLEAR than intentions of Iran.
Intentions of USA is to start as many wars as it possibly can to make as much money in all of these contracts as possible. Iranian government only hates Israel because Israel is USA's ally.
Israel has positioned itself in the Middle East as USA's right hand and Middle East is seeking to cut that hand off. Whatever.
USA bombed Yugoslavia, they bombed the country into a stone age. The Vietnam war, Korea, and all other conflicts USA has started and provoked and made money in shows how dangerous and rogue and evil it really is.
You want to talk about 'axis of evil'? USA is the center of it.
You can't handle the truth.
I will get moded down for this, but I don't care.
You are absolutely right. Sadly, Iran is not crazy at all, and it won't happened.
But if they did go batshit insane and drop a few nukes on Israel, I would be a very happy guy.
Anyway, getting back to this thread:
The only country in the world that has ever used a nuclear weapon (outside of nuclear tests/practices) is the united states. And it's the world's biggest holder of nuclear power. Why is it a problem that Iran gets a nuclear weapon, when we know the US has thousands, and they are not being audited at all?
WTF am I doing replying to an AC at 5 A.M on a Friday night?
