Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4Israel must have tested their nuclear weapons at least once or twice by now... they've had a nuke weapons program for at least 20 years sure.
Still, the US is the biggest nuclear terrorist state in the world of course. And what is Ireland doing about it? We're helping them build super-computers to do their testing out-of-sight (...and out of mind?). Lookup "HP Galway" and "nuclear weapons" with Google.
The U.S.A has nuclear weapons because the U.S.S.R. threatened and terrorised the world with their own nuclear weapons. They had more nuclear weapons than the Yanks ever had.
If the Russkies wanted to fuck with us we were going to fuck with them. That's the sole reason there wasn't a nuclear war.
In 1962 Kennedy told Khruschev that if he put weapons in Cuba, America would invade and if the Russians fired their nukes at America, then America would nuke Moscow. Khrushchev backed off and didn't post the nukes in Cuba. Problem solved.
Nowadays Red China, North Korea, Pakistan have nukes. Iraq was trying to develope nukes, Iran IS trying to develope nukes and Islamic terrorists are trying to get hold of nukes.
If they try to nuke us we will nuke them.
So the threat of our reaction makes them weak at the knees. So fuck them.
AND FUCK YOU DIPSHIT! I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU TRY TO BOYCOTT U.S. GOODS!
US a terrorist state?
You're so fashionably anti-american Dubsky but you don't know your ass from your elbow. If it wasn't for US nukes we'd all be in the gulags by now, except you of course, you'd fit in incely with the KGB weasels.
Is america a terrorist state.
It can be easily agreed that america is a state. Just in case there might be some dispute, here is a definition of the State, according to www.dictionary.com.
"One of the more or less internally autonomous territorial and political units composing a federation under a sovereign government: the 48 contiguous states of the Union."
That sounds like it can be applied to america, agreed america is a state?
Next a popular definition of a terrorist. Again from websters.
"One that engages in acts or an act of terrorism"
Not particularly helpful..
we need to define terrorism. If america fits one or more of the conditions for terrorism then it can be described as a terrorist and as a state it would be a terrorist state.
Terrorism according to websters
"The act of terrorizing, or state of being terrorized; a mode of government by terror or intimidation"
Does america fit into this category?
Very possibly. In the last few years the american government has survived based on the populations belief that they were under actual or imminant attack by international enemies. Not only has the state done nothing to aleviate this fear, but it has created a system whereby it can actually dictate directly exactly how afraid the citizens should be at any one time. (the colour coded terror alert system) In the last 2 years (whenever america needed to boslter public opinion in support for an unjustified war), america has gone to yellow, orange and even red terror alerts. None of those alerts have been based on any real threat.
In order to gather support for the invasion of iraq the US government decieved the population through careful propaganda faithfully reported by the corporate media, that Iraq was preparing to attack America with nuclear weapons, dirty bombs and or chemical nerve agents/biological weapons. they also lied saying that Iraq was responsible for 9/11 (absurd) so they could say, Iraq hit us before, they will probably attack us again.
This seems to me to lead to the very clear conclusion that the Bush Administration relies very heavily on fear and terror in order to stay in power and keep control. They engage in terrorism, which makes them terrorists, which makes them a terrorist state.
And that is without even considering the actions america has perpetrated on outside countries over the last 50 years..
