Date: February 25th, 2012 10:09 PM Author: Lake cuckoldry sound barrier bro, this is a discussion about intl law. Everyone here knows that intl law lacks an enforcement mechanism and is worthless, not to mention the fact that it has been rendered historically moot by numerous armed conflicts without any reprisal from international bodies. I am simply wondering about which intl. laws would apply in this scenario, not whether or not anyone would give a fuck.

Date: February 25th, 2012 10:05 PM Author: Geriatric Boistinker Boltzmann lol. even if iran developed nukes, or even if they developed ICBMs, we could utterly wipe them off the face of the map before they knew what hit them. 1. if we launched nukes from subs right off their coasts, there is no way they would detect them soon enough to launch a counterstrike 2. alternatively, we could have black ops smuggle some nukes into the country and detonate them at iran's nuclear silos. 3. or, of course, the united states could just drop some nukes from a B2 bomber |
