So they
say. Which funnily enough is exactly what the Iranians say too. So there is no need for any nastiness is there boys?
The Iranians are lying.
Yes. That's how we distinguish them from the Americans.
Well, Americans (and the American government) certainly lie. But in the case of America and Iran both saying their nuclear ambitions are within international law, I'd say the Americans are telling the truth and the Iranians are lying.
This is largely because international law allows America to have a considerable nuclear arsenal, so nearly everything we could possibly want is allowed for us.
I do realize that international law requires us to draw down our arsenal as much as possible. I believe we have complied with that requirement with the SALT and START treaties.
