Put me on!
Um, no, the irrational Iranians are not our friends, so they wouldn’t do something that would improve America, at least I don’t think they would.
Oh, completely agree, anything “plugged in” is toast. Disconnected devices might be spared in such homes, might. Like I said, I’m still reading about it.
In that movie in Post 58, scroll ahead to 1:20:00 for the explosion in Charleston Harbor.
Not being a nuclear engineer, I’m still thinking that a ground-based explosion would be pretty nasty, too. Either way, I’d want to be 300-400 miles away, upwind, thankyouverymuch.
Sounds like that old Bob Newhart fake phone call when he was the president calling Moscow to apologize/warn that we had accidentally launched a nuke at them. Then he tells Nikita we’d like to make it up to you-—why don’t you take out Chicago? Nikita says that would make us two-up on the Russians.———Chicago still could use some re-development also.
I think the clock is counting down for NYC unless Israel takes out Iran’s capability.
This site has gone mad with fear of Iran when it is China that is our main threat.
Why would China want to wipe out their best customer?
Ted, hang on a minute...
New York or Los Angeles??
Maybe we can compromise on this one issue??
heheheh
Only lefties are commenting when I went there
Hey. They are not building that big navy and asserting control over Asia to take on France. Customer? Maybe they are thinking how we do it - we bomb and then rebuild. Make even more money.
I don’t see it.
They may well take over via intimidation but not by destruction.
The Chinese aren’t religious fanatics and they got a taste of capitalism. The Iranian government on the other hand has been lying about nuclear weapons from the beginning.
Please add me to the list.
“The Iranians do not have intercontinental missile capability”
But they do have shipping capability and Long Beach and other ports are vulnerable.
“and a nuclear attack on U.S. cities would result in the end of Iran”
I’m not too sure about that. Wish I could be. With the big zero, democRATs, massive retaliation was never an option and they never would respond in kind.
As I see it, the big zero and democRATS would respond by imposing leaky sactions while whining to the UN, eventually getting some sort of strongly worded demarche. . .at best we could hope they would invade Iran followed quickly by pulling-out and then sending billions of dollars in aid to Iran for re-building.
Wash DC Air National Guard was up.
From take-off at Dulles to the Pentagon is mere minutes.
Physically impossible to react in time to stop it.
If we had a president with balls. . . .
Agreed; I too think “something” is going to happen and, if Iran can’t get an ICBM from the NORKs or ChiComms, they’ll sail a ship right into a major US city’s harbor and detonate it.
End of thread hi-jack.
Have a nice day.
Oh please.
This is ridiculous on it’s face. He’s crawling to the neocons and AIPAC with this crapola. We had a decade of this cynical fear mongering and it got us a dead GOP and a police state.
This is very disappointing. But, not surprising (sigh).
