In reply to the discussion: Iran 'designing nuclear submarine' [View all]porcinaalbastrucaine
(6 posts)73. Good For Iran!
America needs to stop demonizing other nations for doing exactly what the USA has done or is currently doing.
We should applaud Iran for wanting to accept such a technological challenge.
If Iran is successful and uses their new toy for bad things, I am fully confident in the US Submarine Force sinking the pride of the Iranian Navy.
Now for all you who think Nuclear Reactors and Weapons on submarines are dangerous and bad.
The reactor and the weapons are some of the safest things on board.
The Oxygen Generator, the things that makes oxygen for the people, is far more dangerous then the reactor or weapons.
