That Didn't Take Long Now Did It?
The most surprising thing about this is the fact that I'm not at all surprised.

I pointedly refuse to believe things are hopeless. I do think that everything is poised to get a hell of lot worse before it can get any better. Eg. WWIII and we (my kids, their kids) will be on the weaker side.
Instead a truck, van, cargo container, or some other low tech method that gets the device close enough to be used, but without the limited warning time ICBMs entailed.
Blarman, aside from a pretty huge radioactive tsunami hitting the east coast (assumed) I'm not that sure the full effect of the radiation would do as much damage from 20 miles out. It certainly has potential.
But a high-altitude EMP blast from an atomic weapon would ruin all or enough of ALL the electronics in the US (and a good part of Canada, too, and, deprived of cars, internet, power, water and smartphones, society would implode.
Any invader strong enough to land a LOT of troops on our soil with Working Equipment would take 'US' over quickly.
Are we prepared for or defending against that? I don't see any evidence of it.
A few months ago i wrote as per khallings request some of the history of my growing up next to a syrian community. I learned a great deal of how their minds function. Ask him to tell you where to find it.
The result is that I believe the arabs are the missing links>
"minds [that] do not function." I hold that people are individuals who willingly choose whether their minds will or will not function. Do you agree?
That being said, one of the insidious things about Islam is that it tolerates zero dissent. It actively punishes thinking as we know it by the harshest of measures. What you are seeing (and what I am pointing out) is the results of a society that actively punishes thinking at all. One of the results is a total lack of scientific progress.
All of the terrorist attacks on the United States have been by Muslims. Muslims are attacking Christians all over the world, beheading them, cutting them in half, burning them alive. Thousands are joining their war against civilization. Does that serve as proof in your book?
I don't see any Muslims standing up in protest for these murderous cowardly crimes.
First, historical murders conducted on the basis of religion are not proof of genetic mental disorders. Otherwise we could claim all Italians or those of italian descent have non-functioning brains because their ancestors (Romans) murdered Christians. That's obviously absurd.
Second, I don't know how you define terrorist attack, but not all of them have been committed by muslims, but even if they have, what does that tell us about the mental state of those who have not committed such attacks? Nothing, of course. Of course the actions of murderers tell us a lot about their mental state and perhaps something about the ideology they follow, but it tells us nothing about the genetic makeup of those who do not commit such crimes. Otherwise we would condemn the whole non-aboriginal populace of Australia as mentally defective given their criminal ancestors.
Finally, lots of muslims have decried murders of by muslim terrorists. How have they escaped the fatal gene? Give it up. Don't blame murders on the murderers genetic ancestors. Each of them is personally responsible for their acts. As Rand noted, racism is a particularly ugly form of collectivism. Judge each on their ideas and actions.
The Obama administration LIES ABOUT EVERYTHING!
OK Iran, here's the deal...You go ahead with all of the centrifuge research and building that you like. We're going to park a few satellites in GeoSync orbit over you.
Now here's the necessary calculus. A C3 Trident can make the depressed trajectory trip from the central Indian Ocean outer door open to MIRV in, say, 4 1/2 minutes, another 90 seconds from dispersal to detonation over target. Give it another two minutes from orders received to missile spin-up and boat to launch depth.
All of this is to say that should we even sense a test shot somewhere in Iran, the order will be given and in less than 10 minutes, your country will cease to exist. Don't worry though...we have carbide drill bits to get through the green glass that used to be your nation so we can take all of the oil that we want.
Just a modern version of gunboat diplomacy.
Any questions?
What do you expect from two deeply dishonest people who viscerally detest each other, on the basis of religious prejudice and power thirst?
The radioactive atmosphere from the devastated northern hemisphere is slowly making its way south. They are doomed.
In the novel, as opposed to the 1959 movie they made from it, WWIII started from......the Israeli - Arab War.
I am still weirded out, and this little gem does nothing to help.

that the first Iranian nuke will have a name.
(As Fat man and Little Boy).
If it is 5 or 10 years off, the name will not be remembered by the chattering classes-
'The Community Organizer'
haps we should treat the whole thing with the con-
tempt it deserves. After all, Congress can simp-
ly decline to ratify it; (or the Senate can, can't
it?) And then, if we can prevent ourselves and
Israel from being attacked between now and
January in 2017, we may be able to make our-
selves safer. (And then, maybe Israel may do
us a favor and knock Iran out).
Kerry, well we all know about his history of being a liar, he sat in front of Congress with a whole bunch of liars and told made up stories. The Iranian guy has to lie, if he went home with any other story he and his family would no longer be. And our president, again we have a list of his lack of creditability, he has very little if any.
Most of us know it IS down right stupid to trust the Iranians, but they are and have been exactly who they say they are and proclaim it to the world. Regrettably I wouldn't really trust anyone in o's administration to act with our best interests in mind. Their track record speaks for itself.
It weakens our position, but letting Iran fight ISIS(Sunni vs Shia) is the most efficient, but that has been Iran's ambition since we were selling anthrax to Saddam, while North was selling Iran weapons to raise money for proxy war in central America.
An enemy that announces they are your enemy can obviously be trusted to act like an enemy, while Leetle o ......I wouldn't want him petting my dog.
