Is Iran intending to slog it out with India in the Arabian Sea?
- The Pukin Dog
Let's put Nukes in the Ukraine.
Are Iranians any better at submarine shopping than Canadians are?
Just musing.....
Iran is the death enemy of Israel. Do those subs and missles threaten Israel? Yes, they do. Israel is within range of the missles, maybe after a little sail time.
Iran is moving closer and closer to nuclear weapons. When, lo and behold, this is learned, what happens then?
Iran is basically handcuffed. Israel has nukes and will retaliate if attacked, with full atomic support from us.
We'd love it if Iran provided enough provocation for us to take out their nuke sites. Israel wouldn't tolerate any provocation from Iran. We've sent J-Dams to Israel, and they have their own nukes. Besides, Israel did that before, to Iraq.
We also know that Iran is backing Muslim terrorists we fight in Iraq, and has backed past major terrorist attacks against us.
There's probably more, but Iran might be a little further out on thin ice than it thinks. (Iran/think...Does that sound oxymoronic?)
Iran could be a stalemate in the region for a long time. I don't think Iran will act, because of swift retaliation from several sides. The only way Iran could be aggressive militarily would involve allying with another major power that could deter others (us) from stepping in.
It does seem to me, however, that Iran's backing of terrorism might cause its sub fleet to suffer from mysterious (and violent)dissappearances. :D
This appears to be a very tough row to hoe for our Kremlinphiles.
The Ruski-Coms are not our friends.
Remember the dialectic? Two steps forward, one step back? they will be stepping forward boldly soon.
In effect, future Iranian nuclear weapons detonated on various large urban centers will have 'From Russia With Love' labels.
