    History suggests that outdated totalitarian regimes are always forced to relinquish power in the end - it's just a question of how long the process takes, and how much blood is shed in the process.

    Blink of an eye mate. It took centuries for the British aristocracy to relinquish their grip on power. Even now they still have the House of Lords, but we do have democracy of a sort.

    Maybe mate, however, I find the thought of a nuclear Iran a frightening prospect for global stability.

    Oh, I agree the yanks have the technological capacity to crush any country in the world, pretty much - though they'd probably think twice about taking on the Russians.

    Where you and I differ is, I'm not sure that's such a good thing.

    I wouldn't disagree with that. Neither did the previous US administration, that's why they signed an international agreement with Iran.

    If you want a clue as to what might happen in the future, it pays to examine what happened in the past. You wouldn't bet on a horse race without studying past form.

    Russia has nukes That's the be end off it all.

    It;s not difficult fffs. The super powers won't engage in a war, as we all know it's the end off the world.

    Letting piss ant countries have them, well make off it what you will.

    India and paki have been toying for decades. Neither will ever use.

    But give a madman the tools?

    A lot of people don't realise that we are actually in a more dangerous cold war than the last one, there was always certain limits in place, there isn't now. The Russians have been refitting for the last twelve years or so, new family of armoured vehicle class, probably the best air defence system in the world and some nasty big bang sticks etc. Probably part of the reason why Trump ripped up the nuclear treaty, and thus spent trillions on the American armed forces and massive pressure on NATO allies to come up to budget. Give Vlad an inch and he'll take a mile.
