The US follows the holy path of money, bowing to the shiny bricks of gold and the stacks of green paper. Special holy paper that only the chosen can use to print more paper in ever increasing amounts until the holy fiscal temple of insanity comes crashing down around their ears.
In a post financial apocalyptic America who will control the Nuclear arsenal

I have not typed a denial of any kind. There is a very good reason for these people with Top Level Clearance and this imperative was put in place by IKE as it was necessary to avoid the use of such knowledge for Political Gain.
Make NO MISTAKE...Politicians will use ANYTHING to get reelected. They would use even Classified Information to do it! This prevents the leaking of Ultra-Top Secret Programs that are by their very nature...information that is as lethal and powerful as the Program itself.

I am literally sick to the point of exasperation of dealing with Russia Today and PressTV clips which pander to conspiracy enthusiasts, as if the subjects they cover weren't themselves an extension of deliberate government policy.
Hence, the plethora of anti-Israel, anti-Zionist, anti-american segments they have. They talk as if they were libertarians! , and many here probably get that impression.
Heres a fact about Russia Today: Russia Today is a virtual cartel of the Russia Government, funded by the Federal Agency on Press and Mass Communications of the Russian Federation. Same situation with Press TV in Iran, which is funded by the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting.
They are appealing to those groups which they can make use of in their propaganda war against the west. For instance, to claim that 'oil' - the talking point which the hostess mentions again and again, obfuscates the larger issue of Iran's religious fanaticism, it's nuclear program, and it's inveterate threats against Israel.
Same thing with Iraq. People are acting as if Saddam didn't have a large stockpile of chemical weapons, that he didn't transfer them to Syria, and that Syrias current possession of chemical weapons ( Link) - which they could have only received from Saddam.
These news shows are designed for western audiences. For us English speakers, mostly non russians and non-iranians; they are carefully crafted propaganda aimed at the increasingly growing population which turns to alternative news sources for it's information, and distrusts everything about 'western media', as if the state owned media of Russia and Iran were somehow more factually credible.

Do people honestly think Iran will nuke Israel and commit Seppuko? Why would they do that exactly?

Who are the terrorists again?
I think the leaders you cheer on may be thinking that MAD now means Masses Attacked Decisively.
You seem to have difficulty thinking outside the religious sphere.
I did not state that the believers of $$$ were atheists, they just believe in a different deity.
The lot you cheer on are much more dangerous than the forces you denounce
The fact that you are cheering them on is an indictment of your thinking processes.
Israel is no better.
Israel threatens just as much as they receive
...and where did Saddam get his from? France, Italy, Switzerland, Brazil, USA, UK, Austria, Singapore, Egypt, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Spain, China, Portugal, and Niger. So you see, we're all guilty.
