President Hu: If Iran developes nukes, then Taiwan will get some nukes...

[DRoseDARs]

Still feeling reluctant about getting Iran to cooperate?



I can't take credit for this crazy idea, and Lord knows in reality it's a BAAAD idea, but purely as a thought exercise it's stunningly brilliant. :thumbsup:

What do y'all think?

1. Can't blame Taiwan

I wouldn't rely on the US for my security either, especially considering how much in debt to China the US is in.

And the Chinese are flexing their muscles around the globe.

3. What I'm saying, hypotheticaly, is us GIVING Taiwan nukes if Iran gets'em.

Carrot-and-stick approach with China on Iran is what this is about. Hypothetically speaking, of course. ;)

5. You should take the colon out of the OP.

I thought that was what Hu was saying! :)

But I don't think we should escalate things with China right now. I'm not sure we can afford it, literally.

6. Too late to do it now. It's stupid that there's a timelimit to edit. n/t

2. Nukes and Cheeses for Everyone!

The finest available!

4. Yes I am still against a Pre-Emptive Nuclear Strike on Iran

Which is what "co-operate' means to this band of Madmen, and that is the only thing the want to do to make Iran "co-operate."

Their solution for them is to Bomb them back to the stone age. For starters.

Our solution is to get these madmen out of office. Legally and Peacefully.

If possible.

If not.....

7. Here is my take on this...

"China, if Iran should just happen to develop a nuke, don't be surprised if one falls of a truck in that renegade province of yours."

Of course you'd have to get leverage over Russia. All they got are the Chechens, and I wouldn't really want to help them.

You know I figured out why the Crooked Dick is such a hawk. He shot all the doves.

And by the way the whole idea of doing this to Iran and China is something that would come out of a PNACs mouth. It is a weird idea, and is tantamount to what the Soviets did in Cuba. It won't work and could start a nuclear exchange. I'm not really into getting that dark of a tan this early in the year. Plus, I also not in the mood for a little nuclear winter either.

8. The person I got this from is Taiwanese. Does that help explain it?

He's not gung ho about it, he was just making a scenario ...and trolling a Chinese citizen posting on the same board. ;)
