I came across that image on the nation state forum. I grabbed it before it was deleted for being offensive.
Its kinda crazy that Iran has a functional football team that is good enough to play in the world cup.
Why? Iran is a relatively civilised country without any real issues. I mean it's isolated sure, but it's a relatively well functioning society over there.
Now I don't claim to be a middle eastern expert, but even social issues aside, I wouldnt call developing nukes in secrecy in 21th century civilised.
People probably think that Iran is a desert filled with mud huts and ghettos, but they have sprawling cities that looks like most other cities in the world. And USA, Russia, and China are?
Are countries that had such potential for decades now. Apart from the "lessons learnt" episode of nuking japan,none of them used it in any other way as a detterent or a card. They keep their shit mostly in the open and have/had treaties about limiting amount of nukes. They are also not really in middle of a shitstorm when it comes to location either. Not a big fan of the "big players" having acces tofuck the earth arsenal, but I much prefer said countries to the likes of iran.
USA is going to win world cup now. They've already beat miniboss ghana, now comes Germany. Wasn't the cold war pretty much 50 years of using nukes as a deterrent to not actually start fighting each other.
i heard that america won a game which would be cool i guess if people other than brazil cared about this
