Trump - The positives - (see Mod note in OP)

Trump the positives? Well, immigration has long been one of Trump’s signature issues. He now says there is "the strongest and most secure border in American history by far. In the past nine months, zero illegal aliens have been admitted to the United States.”

After more than 50 years of rapid growth, the immigrant population of the US is now in decline. You may or may not think of that as a positive. Trumps supporters think of it as a positive.

The pew research centre found that

"In January 2025, 53.3 million immigrants lived in the United States – the largest number ever recorded. In the ensuing months, however, more immigrants left the country or were deported than arrived"

Not all of Irans facilities, and facilities can be rebuilt.

If a research facility or factory even underground is bombed, how long does it take to get it up and running again?

It is why western leaders like Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney have backed President Trump's strikes on Iran.

If Iran set off a small suitcase nuclear bomb in Israel or New York, would'nt Iran plead innocence, say it was an Israeli /USA accident and Israel could not retaliate. Iran has form and intent, it has attacked Israel and western targets through proxies before.

Took Pearl Harbour for USA to be drawn in to WW2. Pearl Harbour was American soil.

The Americans learned their lesson then. And after 9/11, they do not want Iran getting their hands on a nuclear bomb or dirty bomb in a suitcase for obvious reasons.

So first of all you said it was a few months ago. Now it is a short number of months ago. Do you know how many months?

As I said, in 2005, the IAEA Board of Governors found Iran in non-compliance with its NPT safeguards agreement and in 2006 the UN demanded Iran stop enriching uranium. It did not. Iran subsequently suspended operation with the IAEA.

Do you think the Ayotollah would have put a dirty bomb in a suitcase in the big Apple if he could have? Do you think the Ayotollah was less anti-American than Bin Laden?

The world does know Iran had (maybe still has) a very determined nuclear programme and enriched plutonium. As someone else said, you only need low enriched Uranium for civil purpose (10% max). So why did they si so much more? Even if you want to pull the research card, you don't need near 500kg's worth.
