"My point is that it takes thousands to actually make a bomb. And Iran is 10 plus years awy from that goal.

Even if they do eventually create a bomb...whose to say they would even use it?

Look to India and Pakistan as examples. Both are nuclear powers, both accuse each other of terrorism. Both have a terrible history of violence.

I've yet to read anything that would give the slightest hint of one country wanting to use their nukes on the other.

Iran just wants to puff its chest.

That's all.

And that aint gonna hurt no one.

Especially me or my family."

Iran is considered to already have at least some nuclear weapons already purchased by Russia black market via Ukraine and former Soviet Baltic states. In regards to India/Pakistan neither country has ever threatened Israel or the USA with nuclear destruction. North Korea has nukes and the missle payload to deliver them as far as Alaska. When countres threaten nuclear annihalation, it needs to be taken seriously.

That's what's commonly reported. I have seen coverage maps, however, which shows their ability to deliver as far as St. Louis. Either way, we presume a launch from NK territory. That might not necessarily be a given.
