Situation hotting up in the Middle East

The problem is with these towel heads is that dying is a GOOD thing to them!
Meeting Allah and taking out the infidels is a great way to go, they don't give a fuck.
I heard someone on the radio last week say what better way for them to show that they are serious about having nuclear capability than exploding a bomb on a small remote country like NZ?
Fuck em I say the Yanks should sort them NOW.

i agree, BUT they know we have an alliance with the Usa, australia, england.. etc.
so they've got to be thinking if they did, they would have them on their asses asap.

If Iran are going to use a bomb of that nature, they're not going to directly attack anyone, They will just give the bomb to some terrorist group to do their dirty work and take the fall.

Are you glad the Yanks saved our sorry asses in WWII?

Not according to all the towel heads I know over here - Iraquis, Iranians, most of them reckon it's a load of shit and just wish the fanatics would fuck off and die somewhere else - just like most westerners wish the christian fanatics would fuck off and die somewhere else, then leave everyone else to get on with life free of their invective and hate (we come in peace, shoot to kill....)

Anyway - Iran is at least 5 years away from a bomb, according to those who know, but are conveniently ignored. The Christian fundamentalists in the USA combined with Israel will, however, tell us otherwise. Personally, I'd be more worried about Pakistan and Israel. They do have nuclear weapons......

65 years ago there were a bunch of crazy fucks who believed that it was right to die because someone told them so -the solution nuke EM abracadabra peace the fucking towel heads cant afford to use 1 directly because it's taking to much time/money & heat to produce just 1 or 2 & it would leave them with no bargaining chip at the table as well as the extinction of all party members

Saber-rattling has always been good for the economy, especially when times are tough - Keeps the minds of the masses off the fact that life is tough, and keeps the military industrial complex in business churning out more and more weapons.

Besides, after leaving Iraq, where else are the Yanks gonna dump and use their expiring ammo on?

[avgas]

At least they don't go blowing themselves up in the name of some fictitious "higher power".

Your kidding right?

I have an old school mate who has done very well for himself in the Royal Air Force. He has worked in Whitehall and various NATO postings around the world. Just by coincidence he sent this to me today. a bit of a long read and only one persons opinion but he is pretty well qualified to make it!!

Iran, Nuclear Weapons and Pakistan – a Perfect Storm?

This briefing and analysis is about the strategic challenges posed by rapidly unfolding events in Iran and Pakistan. Though the issues are not directly related, the countries involved are neighbours and relations between them are, at best cool.

Situation:

Iran:


Pakistan:


And what if both of the scenarios played out over the next month….?


Of course, I hope I wrong.

Just 1 of the many reasons I detest history. Too many are quick to hold up what has been done in the past as an excuse to, in this case, start a war. Israel have a history of itchy trigger finger syndrome, the US are happy that they're right and the rest of us just sit back and cheers for one side or the other. I hope the Iranians have nuclear missiles and Israel and/or the US get it drastically wrong. It might wake us the fuck up to what's important... and it isn't the stupid fuckin rat race that we currently live in.

Whatever happened to returning fire? Why the need for a pre-emptive strike? It certainly isn't for the people. I've said it before and I'll say it again. If it were for the people, then they woulda sorted out Zimbabwe before now. A lot of puff and pomp but that's the acceptable way to do things. If Obama starts it, I'd be asking for his Nobel Peace Prize back. Fucks me right off.

Great to finally see a president that has control and taking responsibility in regards to decisions made for his country

I probably wouldn't have a problem with that as it wasn't as though the Argies were gonna come and conquer the UK because they didn't defend a piece of land in the middle of an ocean somewhere. I'm getting hacked off with the excuses that drag countries into wars. Reckon if they had have polled the UK public with: Do you want to go to war with Argentina because they're contesting the ownership of a piece of land, even though it's off their coastline and nowhere near ours... expect people to die. Reckon the public woulda thought, yeah great?
