Netanyahu Feeling Like Trip To US To Start World War III Went Pretty Well
 

NEW YORK?Following his speech to the United Nations General Assembly this week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Friday that he is ?pretty satisfied? with his trip to the U.S. to instigate World War III. ?All in all, I think I accomplished my goal of pushing humanity toward the brink of complete and utter annihilation,? said Netanyahu, adding that his implicit calls for international military action against Iran, which would ultimately escalate the conflict to an Armageddon-level of death and destruction, went ?fairly well.? ?I think I did a good job laying the groundwork for a nuclear holocaust that will kill billions of people and eventually end the world as we know it. Sounded like everyone really liked it, too.? When reached for comment, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told reporters that he was ?equally happy? with his own efforts to nudge the world slightly closer to a full-blown apocalypse.

Iran Worried U.S. Might Be Building 8,500th Nuclear Weapon
 

TEHRAN?Amidst mounting geopolitical tensions, Iranian officials said Wednesday they were increasingly concerned about the United States of America's uranium-enrichment program, fearing the Western nation may soon be capable of producing its 8,500th nuclear weapon.

"Our intelligence estimates indicate that, if it is allowed to progress with its aggressive nuclear program, the United States may soon possess its 8,500th atomic weapon capable of reaching Iran," said Iranian foreign minister Ali Akbar Salehi, adding that Americans have the fuel, the facilities, and "everything they need" to manufacture even more weapons-grade fissile material.

"Obviously, the prospect of this happening is very distressing to Iran and all countries like Iran. After all, the United States is a volatile nation that's proven it needs little provocation to attack anyone anywhere in the world whom it perceives to be a threat."

Iranian intelligence experts also warned of the very real, and very frightening, possibility of the U.S. providing weapons and resources to a rogue third-party state such as Israel.

not sure if it's appropriate but: lol

8,500 scares me so much more than 8,499

Why would anyone need 8,500 nukes im sure a few would destroy the world

Very good, point well made.

We used to have more than 30,000 nukes. Russia used to have more than 45,000. No a few will not destroy the world.

There has been well over two thousand nukes detonated by the nuclear powers in testing with little affect to the world.

That really surprised me

The U.S. can scale back their nuke arsenal now.

They have Haarp. :winkwink:

Sounds like the tests aren't working.

They all worked with some of the tests being as small as 5 kilotons to our largest test of around 25 megatons and the Soviet's largest being 50 megatons. The Hiroshima bomb was around 15 kilotons.
