The Iranians forget to renew their AAA membership.
So now they just have to wait
I wish I was young, I would love to kick these retards asses, China and NK too
I’m going to go right out on a limb, and saw it off. We all know that our achilles heel, aside from the communists/democrats in this country, would be an EMP attack. It’s been said that two airburst nukes, properly located, would destroy everything electrical in the US. So, the Iranians come up with a couple of cheap subs, jury rig a nuke on it, surface, and fire somewhere from out in the atlantic/pacific, such that they destroy our electrical grid.
It’s been estimated that such an EMP attack would kill 90% of Americans within a year. The premise is that our food distribution and entire transportation systems, as well as refrigeration, motor vehicles, and almost anything that we use now, would be junk. Never underestimate what your sworn adversary is up to. I’d keep a close eye on what happens with that sub, as the jury rigging may be what they’re up to, under cover of some large metal building. You’re really not paranoid if they are trying to kill you.
If I remember correctly, I thought there was a pm to do that once in a blue moon?
You know, turn it on, turn it off then sign off that it works...
The Kilo is a reliable workhorse used by at least a dozen navies.
No doubt Iran could not keep it seaworthy.
“It’s been said that two airburst nukes, properly located, would destroy everything electrical in the US.”
Only by charlatans.
Yes, I was also wondering what’s the range of a Russian torpedo across the ground?
“How do they know which way to pray when they are under water?”
When I was in college one of the professors got a contract to design a Makkah (also spelled Mecca) Pointer. It was for installation in ships, planes and places where the directions were not obvious. It always points to Makkah.
Interesting. Maybe when I’m more awake I’ll try to ponder how that was made. Easy enough to make on a stationary object or from a known position. Not sure how one could design something on a moving object to always point to Mecca.
Unless of course it was a modern device using GPS.
“Unless of course it was a modern device using GPS.”
There was no GPS at the time. I am an engineer and I was trying to remember how he did it. It was explained in excruciating detail to me one night in the lab. But I was to young and too tired to retain any of it. I have a vague memory of somebody saying, “And, best part, they have no way of checking if it’s right.” *nasty laugh*
My impression of university life is it was a hard struggle for each professor to bring in extra cash for the university and to fund his research. On the projects I helped with, the data ALWAYS came back proving, or at least affirming, what the customer wanted to be the case. (I am thinking of solar panel efficiencies and the like.)
Also I have the impression that university professors had heard about integrity and decided they wanted no part of it.
Because we protect oil shipments for Japan, India, Europe, Etc.
Cause we have a very large stick.
Course these countries should be paying us for such protection.
Why?
It is in our strategic national interest to assure the Gulf remains free of Iranian hegemony.
Next to American Democrats and Black Lives Matter, Iran is our most dangerous enemy
[Now you’ve blown my cover.]

They are not referring to a submarine when they start looking at Mrs. Doubtfire in a burka and laughing about the Iron Camel Toe
