I always knew you were soft. But I never thought you were Aaron Rupar soft.

Its Trump, just wait 5 minutes and he'll say something that is 180 degrees the opposite , without skipping a beat.
Like Lion Ted said: You could hook him up to a lie detector test and he could give you 3 contradictory answers to the same question and he would pass with flying colors

I don't know what point you think you're making. I haven't heard anyone say that Iran can't have nuclear energy. It's the bombs that are the problem.

Trump even offered them free nuclear material for energy purposes a while back. This isn't some startling revelation.

Where does he say he's leaving the door open for enrichment?

Obama did everything he could to let them develop bomb capacity.

And thus here we are.

They dont need nuclear power. They have all the oil in the world. They are just using that as an excuse and you are falling for it.

I'd wager they do it at the same time then swap Obama's cum between each other's mouths.

We need to do the necessary and forget about Iran. Iran did what Vietnam did to us in just such a short reality because Trump didn’t have the balls to invade the beaches and submit them—now the US is laughed at for not thinking this through.

Global perception matters because it affects exchange rates, foreign direct investment, and inflation but what do I know?

That may be true. I’m not falling for it. I simply do not understand why it’s ok for us to stand up against Iran or anyone else when Israel stole our nuclear secrets and they are still our ally. They have given us bad intelligence on so many occasions that has caused us to make some absurd decisions.

You do know that uranium suitable for power generation is no where near the same enrichment for weapons don't you?

Yeah, man. You should totally tell him what's REALLY going on in the region and geopolitically. What the hell does he or anyone in his administration know compared to you and MSNBC?

The internets is your friend, before you flip out and cry about muh "enriched uranium for civilian purposes" means Iran has a nuke!!!!! And Trump has failed!!!!! REEEEEEE!!!!

Is there are particular threshold of enriched uranium that is only adequate for civilian purposes verus an amount needed to produce nuclear weapons?

Yes. In broad terms, civilian power reactors typically use uranium enriched to about 3% to 5% U-235, while uranium enriched to 20% or more is generally classified as highly enriched uranium, and around 90% or more is considered weapons-grade.

The key threshold people often cite is 20% enrichment, because that level is close to the point where the remaining work to reach weapons-grade material drops sharply. But there is no single magic number that makes uranium “only civilian” or “only military,” because some civilian research reactors and medical isotope production can use uranium above 20%, and in rare cases even around 90% for specialized purposes.

So the practical answer is:

3% to 5%: typical civilian power-reactor fuel.

20%+: highly enriched uranium, much more sensitive from a proliferation standpoint.

90%+: generally regarded as weapons-grade.

No, just joking, that’s DJT today


Uranium enrichment for civilian purposes was allowed under the JCPOA. It was capped at 3.67% and 300 kg. The problem was the monitoring guidelines weren't sufficiently rigorous to certify that Iran wasn't continuing past those guidelines in alternate locations, so they never were certified as being in compliance during the time JCPOA was in effect.
