Made the mistake of watching 60 minutes.... [View all]

I thought from watching some previews that it might be a Trump-bashing segment but this is what they were talking about:



U.N. inspectors believe Iran has close to 1,000 pounds of uranium enriched to 60%, nearly ready to be used in a nuclear weapon.

Cecilia Vega: 970 pounds of 60% highly enriched uranium. What can you do with that?

Matthew Bunn: So that is enough material for if you enrich it just a little bit more, for ten to eleven nuclear bombs.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/what-it-could-take-for-us-to-remove-highly-enriched-uranium-from-iran-60-minutes-transcript/

Then the guy being interviewed was saying it would be worth it to invade Iran and take over the nuclear sites and he would sign up for it, but it would be very dangerous but worth American lives.


Wtf????

Is this a bunch of bs???

Exactly what it is. There's a lot more to a bomb than enriched Uranium, and it needs to be 90% enriched ... marble falls Sunday #1
