Within five to ten years a nuclear warhead will destroy an American city by a terrorist organization,according to some experts.

Well, I guess we ought to be first then.

Oops. I guess we already have.

Hear that world?

We are the only nuclear power in the world that has used nukes, and refuses to rule out "first use" in the future.

Come and get 'em.

Generally speaking, Spiegel is junk. A leftist bent sensationalist smear magazine not worried to much about the truth.

However, occasionally they write something like this.


It is real simple. The technology and access in materials, engineering (mechanical/electrical) and physics involved in making “the bomb” is readily available top nations today. Even a retarded nation like North Korea has been able to scrape together 6 - 8 nukes. Likewise is the case for the delivery systems. The end of the cold war, dual use technologies, the access to information and multicultural societies where large numbers of foreign students study in the West or are employed in high tech industries etc simply makes the information at our finger tip. It was a marvel in 1945, but today Iran can do it too. It's difficult to stop.

We need to try to contain this, but we for sure need to devise defense systems to counter this threat.

MDA in the future, bad mouthed by such idiots as the ones writing for “Der Spiegel” won't be such a dumb, destabilizing, arms race starting, system devised against imaginary threats in the future.

The problem with system like this is that you can't pull them out of your ass in a short time. Like a carrier, they take time to build. If in 2013 something pops up, it's to late to start scrambling then because it'll take a while before we can even get something on its feet.

Marvelous. For 17 years we’ve been sitting around on our butts watching this happen. Incidentally, there are now reports that Saudi Arabia is negotiating with Pakistan to purchase nukes off the shelf should Iran go nuclear. Saudi Arabia and Iran with nukes. What a nightmare. In many ways they will dominate the world. They are like a man holed up in a room with a knife at a woman’s throat. But they also both sponsor Jihad and proselytize the worst forms of Islam with billions of dollars around the globe. Meanwhile the world is dependent on their oil, like a crack addict depends on his dealer.

This is the greatest disaster of our lifetime if it comes to pass.

Iran will test its first nuke by putting it on a missile aimed at Israel and precipitate an Israeli nuclear response. Pakistan's nukes are virtually in the hands of terrorists already and at least one American city will be the target of a terrorist nuke in the next five years. Odumbo's policies have only encouraged this to happen and if an American city is nuked I would expect Obama to capitulate and call for help from the UN rather than take any military action.

What is needed is some variation of the MAD policy of the Cold War. A nuclear attack on the US by Islamic terrorists should be met with a nuclear response from the US aimed at the heart of Islam with nuclear strikes on Mecca and Medina. I have heard that Israel has such an Armageddon plan.
