My father build one under our house during the Cuban crisis. It was a lot of work, and never got used for anything at all. I doubt it would have been of much use, anyhow.

who here didn't think this was coming?

Now you can bet that the Saudi's will try to acquire a nuclear capability, as will other ME countries, and it now gives Israel a reason to try to take out Iran's nuclear program.

What a clusterfuck the Mango Menace has made of this.

He might even ask his master in Moscow to sell some of their nukes to SA.

White South Africa was deathly afraid that Black Communists funded by the Soviet Union would attack them.

The wikipedia article isn't bad.

they developed and built their own weapons a long time ago and Russia isn't going to give Iran any nukes, which could be used on them, remember, Iran considers the Russians the lesser Satan.
