Iran 6000 Mile Missile To Reach Great Satan
February 3, 2012, Submitted by: Ken Tweet
Israel’s vice prime minister recently revealed that Iran has a missile under development with a range estimated to be 6,000 miles. In fact, it is apparently the same missile type under construction at an Iranian research-and-development facility, which was damaged by a mysterious explosion in November just outside of Tehran.
“That’s the Great Satan,” Mr. Yaalon said, using the well-known pejorative term that Iranian officials have used for the US. “It was aimed at America, not at us.”
If true, Yaalon’s claim would put Iran’s missile development program into a new league. Until now, most arms analysts have estimated that the range of Iranian missiles is limited to about 1,500 miles – enough, to be sure, to reach Israel and parts of Europe. But analysts have speculated very little on research into or development of a longer-range missile.

6,000 miles downrange from Tehran brings the bulls-eye nearly exactly to Boston. If said missile were launched near Iran’s western border, nearly 400 more miles of range could be tacked on, bringing the bulls-eye to Washington DC. So as you can clearly see, the entire northeastern US corridor from Boston to New York to Washington DC will theoretically be in range should such a missile come to fruition. Couple that with a nuclear device… you get the picture.
If this report turns out to be accurate, this brings the game to an entirely new level.
Yaalon (Israeli vice prime minister) said in his speech that the West does not yet realize how much of a threat is posed by Iran, which he called “a nightmare for the free world.” In reality, he said, Israel in the Iranian regime’s eyes is only the “little Satan,” while America, as leader of the West, is “the larger Satan.”

Badmitton with Iran is more like the issue. The U.S. has thousands of nuclear missles that could blow Iran off the map. Probably in 15 minutes. The U.S. needs to look at diplomatic efforts to bring a more sensible regime or government into the county in the future.
You can’t be diplomatic with lunatics.
Especially those who would be willing to die to further their ideology.
Mutual Assured Destruction (M.A.D.) doesn’t apply to these people.
Diplomacy didn’t do much to lessen the danger from the leader of a certain fanatical leader in Germany during the late thirties.
who are you kidding? dude, pull the plank out of your own eye before you comment on the speck in others eye. american foreign policy is COMPLETELY driven by imperial nationalism and christian apocolyptic ideology.
the only reason we support israel is because a bunch of crazy lunatics in congress think the book of revelations is real.
go ahead and make fun of the iranians about the return of the 12th imam. meanwhile millions of americans are seriously waiting at home waiting for the trumpet to sound and for the rapture to occur. but, ur right… those iranians are real savages. they aren’t sophisticated like us americans.
you and far too many others lack even the most basic level of insight and logic. it’s appalling and thousands and thousands of people are going to die because of it. congrats!
@sam; If you don’t like the country that you live in it would seem like you would do something about it, like move somewhere else that doesn’t offend your sensibilities. If you don’t live here you should consider debating other topics, somewhere else. It’s been my observation though, that people won’t or don’t move because they don’t have the guts to live up to their banal pontifications about the U.S. As far as “{“american foreign policy is COMPLETELY driven by imperial nationalism and christian apocolyptic ideology. (sic)}”, Yeah, what’s your point? Also the rant “plus america and israel have been murdering iranian scientists, infecting computers worldwide with stuxnet, and tons of other stuff nobody mentions”, again, what would be your point? As much as Mortimer and I don’t see eye to eye some times, he’s right about everything he said. Also Iranians are Persians, just call one an Arab and see how that goes for you. I used to teach them for the military before the revolution and they are PROUD to be Persians not Arabs. It is an insult to call one an Arab. They use Arabic script due to the spread of Islam during the years after Mohamed’s death up to the 1400′s, but their culture is VERY distinct from general Arabic culture. Mortimer is correct, in that anyone can sling a satellite into orbit, whereas finding a certain specific geographic spot on the face of the earth, 6000 miles away, is a might more difficult to do. They have not launched a missile anywhere close to that range with any meaningful accuracy and until they do, I wouldn’t worry about it. Good luck with the move, sam. Survive well. Enjoy.
Your Right Beano there is no reason to believe Iran can use any reasonable Diplomacy when dealing with the lunatics in control. Especially like you say “Especially those who would be willing to die to further their ideology.”, of big bank control, big Gov. spending and a Luciferian / Bully doctrine over every faction of the world. Sad to say it will be little Joe Blow / all American down the street to pay the ultimate price.
you are absolutely correct! america needs regime change!
israel is more of a threat to world peace than Persia ever was.
Mike,
Please enlighten us as to how Israel is a greater threat than Iran (note that the arabs do not refer to themselves as Persians)?
USC
The way that it was explained to me by an Iranian exchange student is that Iranian Christians refer to themselves as being Persian.
I’m going sit out the Arab/Israeli thing this time.
Unfortunately, those folks are not the ones in power in Iran, but I get your point….I was over generalizing.
Regards
hear, hear!
They would flatten Israel before an isolated attack on the U.S. Now if they can mass produce nuclear fuel for say 25 or more nuclear weapons, then they would definitely use as much as they could on any attacker.
there is absolutely ZERO evidence that is not derived from anonymous administration or AIPAC sources that supports your statement. iran hasn’t invaded a single country in the modern era.
leon panetta admits they don’t have nukes. stop justifying AIPAC propaganda.
@sam.
I was trying to avoid the political side of this, but no longer can.
The leadership of Iran has been vocal with respect to it’s hatred of both Israel and the United States. I would count them as a ‘source’.
The fact that they haven’t invaded anybody lately is because they have a third rate military. Perhaps they are looking to make up for lost time.
It is obvious to me that Iran is a supporter of Hezbollah. What do you call someone who arms your enemies? I call them enemies.
Please don’t respond with that “AIPAC propaganda” rant. I’d never heard of them before this thread.
Iran probably doesn’t have nukes. Preventing them from getting them is what the sanctions and all that is all about.
so we can bomb the shit out of iran due to a lack of adoration? nobody is allowed to hate the united states? iran is a sovereign fucking nation wiht defined borders. guess what, they can do whatever they please within their borders and imperial america ought not have anything to say about it. they don’t have to love us. they don’t have to sell their oil denominated in dollars. they don’t have to do what we say just because we say so.
america can invade iraq (twice), lebanon, afghanistan, somalia, and libya and we expect appreciation from iran over this? america labels iran as part of the “axis of evil” and still you villainize them for their “hatred of america.” america was responsible for a coup d’etat in 1954 in iran. that’s right, our CIA overthrew their democratically elected government and installed the shah. pretty nice of us, eh? but, we also provide military support to a ton of arab nations who oppose iran (saudi arabia, qatar, kuwait, bahrain, and other emirate states. we funded saddam’s invasion of iran in the 1980′s with suitcases filled with money delivered to saddam by yoru friend and mine, donald rumsfeld. america has covert wars ongoing in yemen, somalia, and pakistan. GO AHEAD AND CONTINUE TO DELUDE YOURSELF THAT IT IS IRAN THAT IS THE REAL THREAT.
yes, iran supports hezbollah. america and israel support ahwazi and baluchi ethnic minorities within iran. you don’t seem to mind that so much.
is iran awesome? no. do they deserve to have billions of dollars of munitions dropped on their cities? HELL NO! do american deserve to have their economy further decimated by more debt to fund more military excursions? HELL NO!
Yep, I’m pretty sure I would move, sam. I hear the PRNK is nice this time of year and they’re real big on free speech and dissent. Survive well. Enjoy.
i have to move because i disagree with billions and billions of dollars going toward ill advised war half way around the world? sounds brilliant.
israel has a right to security like i have a right to be left alone in my home some one out side starts yelling that they want to kill you and had a loaded gun pointed in a window what would you do
so by your same logic iran is justified in it’s missile developemtn considering that america has at least three aircraft carrier groups in teh gulf of oman, has tens of thousands of troops in kuwait. has it’s central command bases in doha. has tens of thousands of state department mercenaries in iraq on it’s western border. has tens of thousands of troops in afghanistan on it’s northern border. oh, and it’s building at least two new bases on barren islands in the gulf of oman to stage a war from against iran.
plus israel actually has sea, air, and land based nuclear assets developed and weaponized and if you think they aren’t pointed at tehran, i’ll kiss your ass.
plus america and israel have been murdering iranian scientists, infecting computers worldwide with stuxnet, and tons of other stuff nobody mentions because it’s not on the AIPAC propaganda list.
your thinking (“if we do it, it’s for freedom; if they do it, it’s for jihad”) is dangerous and fallacious.
@sam.
I rather doubt that Israel has sea and land based nuclear delivery systems. No real point considering their threat environment. They do have nuclear capable air assets. The US sold, or gave, many of them to them.
They do have advanced missile systems like Iron Dome. Defensive in nature.
Air assets don’t need to be pre-targeted. Hopefully you and chad neibaur live close to each other. I imagine he’ll want dinner and a movie before you pucker up.
Got any real proof on who is killing the scientists? I just did a Wiki on Stuxnet. Mentions US, Israel, or other ‘Western powers”‘.
Please don’t respond with that “AIPAC propaganda” rant. I’d never heard of them before this thread.
Must be old age, but, I didn’t see where chad used either ‘freedom’ or ‘jihad’ in his post.
Apologies to chad if your not male.
thanks for the help brother…..i never said jihad look if iran only wanted nuclear power i know there are other ways to get it done no need for secret underground bunkers and the cloak and dagger act frankly i think that it would be ok if they had nuclear power plants but developing missiles to carry nuclear warheads isnt the best way to send the we come in peace message let me be clear I DONT LIKE ANYONE HAVING NUKES this isnt some insecure american talk while i agree america has issues too it would be reckless to let ideological maniacs who hate the thought of jews next door do something dumb
@Mortimer; You go man, you rock!!!! Survive well. Enjoy.
Well sam, that would actually be correct. The fundamental ethos of the U.S. versus the fundamental Ethos of Iran are so different as to be antithetical to one another. Yes we do stand for truth, justice and the American way. Are we always right, no and neither are we always wrong. The idea of democracy in Iran is that all the MEN in the CORRECT sect of Islam came to a conclusion and have assented on it. Yeah, stand up for that and their “rights” while ignoring the half of the population that doesn’t have a penis and the others that aren’t in the CORRECT sect of Islam, OR God (Allah??) forbid, aren’t in Islam at all… Apples and oranges. Bogus argument. Survive well. Enjoy.
“If this report turns out to be accurate…”
The question is, if it doesn’t turn out to be accurate, will that news warrant its own blog post and headline?
Good point!
We’ll probably never hear…
Even if “This” report doesn’t turn out to be accurate, it’s only a matter of time before reality sets in.
This is not the 1950′s or 60′s, rockey design is not that difficult because it has already been done quite successfully by many countries. When it has been tried and proven, the plans are out there and others can build rockets much easier than anytime in the past. IF some coutnry can put a satellite in the sky they are not too far off from putting an ICBM with a deliverable nuclear device on it. Until they have a surplus of nukes, the U.S. has nothing to worry about in regards to a nuclear waapon.
Now a biological agent is another story. Bio weapons are a poor man’s nuclear device and just keeps killing look after the ICBM hits its target. The USSR had plenty of bio and chemical weapons ready and loaded on many of their ICBM’s, probably still do like China. The thing about a bio weapon is that it has a better success rate of going off than a nuclear bomb. An ICBM warhead filled with some strange genetically mutated virus or something like completely antibiotic immune pneumonic plague or anthrax is what scares me to even think of this. Forget the nuke, they have bio weapons that could easily be loaded into an ICBM. An ICBM warhead would not be as heavy either with bio weapons in them if the weight was a problem with a successful launch. Anyone got some nice N-100 masks?
I wouldn’t be all that concerned about the missile threat. Missiles with that range are common. The US and the Soviets, er Russians, have had them for decades. Not rocket science, actually it is, to build them. Accurate guidance is harder. Look at Saddam and the Scuds. They could hit a country, barely. The biggest loss for the US was a Scud that was hit by a Patriot. Might have improved it’s, the Scud, accuracy. Sigh.
I think that the tramp freighter is a more likely threat. That’s, on the seacoast, is where most people live.
Come on sam and mortimer… you guys aren’t going to change each other’s mind in a blog’s comment thread. Lets keep the personal attacks at bay and continue if you wish with reasonable argumentative debate. Heated articulated debate is good though.
so you approve his comment but not mine? that’s bullshit.
Hey sam, all your comments have been approved, barely. What, is it a full moon tonight?
@ken. Sorry. I *really* did want to sit out the political side.
No worries – Sometimes a good healthy political debate is a good thing. It certainly points out where everyone sits on the fence, or which side of the fence!
@Mortimer; You were dead on, dude. Survive well. Enjoy.
There is some science behind ICBM ballistics that needs to be discussed. When an ICBM is fired from east to west, because of the rotation of the planet, 6000 miles actually becomes more like 6,300 miles that is required for the missile to travel. The missile was fired at 0:00 time and will reach its target at 0:30, give or take a few minutes. By the time the missile has reached where it was destined for the planet has rotated about 300 miles further away. This means that an ICBM with only a range of 6000 miles would fall short of the east coast in the Atlantic somewhere. A missile with 6000 mile range is not long enough. An ICBM fired from Iran must have a longer range than 6000 miles.
An ICBM however fired from North Korea from west to east say at San Francisco that is 5500 miles from North Korea would only have to have a range of 5200-5300 miles because the missile would be travelling with the rotation of the planet west to east. The laws of ballisitics extend the trajectory of the missile. A few hundred miles for or against someone firing a missile plays into how much the payload it can carry, an important condsideration when trying to understand missiles in warfare.
Simple solution for Iran… move their launcher to the western border, about 300-400 miles closer to our shores from Tehran. But as others have mentioned, it’s one thing to sling a ballistic missile, but its quite another to bring it down on target. Additionally, if Iran is truly developing such a missile, with the intent to reach us, then don’t you think that their designers will factor in these things into their design, such as the earths rotation? Yes, I would think so…
To all. I think the real issue here is leaders of nations acting like inflated helmet heads. I personally cannot stand hypocricy. When the U.S. talks about genocide and how they must stop it in places like Libya and Syria, it is because of either oil or geographic strategic reasons. Where was the U.S. and other countries when over 800,000 Tutsis people were massacred by Hutu warriors in Rwanda in 1994? Or what about the 400,000 that have died in Sudan? It is not just the U.S. either, it was all the UN nations that allowed this to happen because those people did not matter.
I fear that the more the U.S. cannot live by their own set of values and their own words the more enemies and nations that become unfriendly to the United States. Israel can do no wrong. Every nation does wrong and if you are a friend of someone you point that out to them to help them so they can learn and grow. Iran talks about the death of Israel, this is wrong. Israel attacking another country such as bombing a Syrian nuclear facility is tolerated. However if a country attacks Israel for any reason they would get the full wrath of the UN coming down on them or the U.S. alone. Yet when the U.S. needs help in the region Israel disappears and is nowhere to be found. This is not fair to the U.S. that is so good to Israel. The U.S. is Israel’s bitch, and this unbalance of a so called friendship is wrong and stinks.
I feel that ANY country or person that cannot live by their own words and laws makes themselves look real bad in the eyes of others. The old saying it so much emphanized here: one that lives in a glass house should not throw rocks.
Ref. The Ruwanda, darfour, etc. mass murdering that borderlines genocide…those are the situations where the UN peace keepers are supposed to “keep the peace.” that is why we donate Billions to the UN annually. The US military is not a global police. Your post kind of misses the whole “national interest” point on when the US should or shouldn’t take military action. If you think the US military should take action in places like Ruwanda, you should vote to disband the UN and use those funds to invest in our military.
Regards
@ US Citizen (Ex-US Military Officier). My own point is hypocrisy and this does play into national security because of the perceived view of how other countries view the United States. Two or three generations ago the United States was viewed as the good guys, the defenders of the innocent, now?! The United States cannot be the police force of the world, no way. However when a strategic point or energy is involved the U.S. sends an immediate battle group into the region. This of course is in the best interest of the U.S., but does not benefit the image of the U.S.
Genocide in Syria is vastly different than some central African country because of the importance of Syria in proximity to Israel and the offshore natural gas reserves. Instead of the U.S. and other countries talking about the barbarism that is happening in Syria and this is the reason that they are taking such an intense stand against what is happening, why not tell the truth the real reason behind it. IF Ruwanda had 100 billion barrels of oil reserves down there, the U.S., Russia, China, and other countries would never had allowed this to happen, and those militaries would have been down there faster than you could say refinery.
The United Nations is a joke, it reminds me of the League of Nations. You wonder why countries want nuclear weapons, as the first 5 countries with nukes are the ones with veto power. There is a real bitching about how terrible Russia and China are for using their veto power, yet when the United States vetoes anything condemnation on what Israel does this is okay. Again this is hypocritic and makes the U.S. look real bad in the eyes of others. There should be no veto power in the United Nations. Straight up votes, maybe for 2/3 or 3/4 to pass something. Veto power gives 5 nations unlimited power that denies other members any say so. The UN is laughable.
US Citizen (EUMO) I am all for national security, but I see a much broader stroke here. I see a country that was once viewed as someone everyone should look up to. A country that ONLY came to someone’s aid when asked for. A country that kept to themeselves and prospered at HOME. Like what was said by a Japanese officier in the Pearl Harbor movie, a sleeping giant. I see now money being spent just like the Roman Empire on foreign lands, while the United States’ infrastructure crumbles, just like the Roman Empire. I wonder who will be the United States’ Nero.
No one learns from history. Again and again, empires make the fatal mistake of becoming decentralized and puring resources into areas away from the central point, the inner country. All the while allowing the internal inerts of the country to fall apart and decay. Those that don’t learn from mistakes of the past are doomed to repeat them. I can cite examples of this decentralization from ancient China, Greece, the Roman Empire, Portugal, Spain, England, the past USSR, and smaller examples that the history books show.
I am all for saving the United States, but it means pulling back the resources to save the country from within before it does crumble apart. This trap that the U.S. fell into has allowed the countries roads, bridges, energy sections, the inner cities, etc, etc. to fall apart. Old saying, charity starts at home, and you have to have a strong foundation to put up our homes on. Let’s forget about Iran and other countries, let Israel solve their own issues with them, and put some of the U.S. military on the porous borders and prevent drugs and likely terrorist weapons from flowing in. Let’s put the money from foreign adventures into creating good stable manufacturing jobs back into this country.
I see what the U.S. doing right now as a liability to the inner works of this country. I see what the U.S. doing right now as furthering the decay of this country from within. What the hell is the U.S. doing over there when the U.S. has huge natural gas deposits over here. Why not put the country first and convert everyone over to natural gas use and forget about foreign oil? Forget about tar sands, this won’t work, it is too expensive and energy and water reliant to be practical to refine. Sitting under the U.S. is something that gives everyone energy right here. No imports, right here. Let’s rebuild the country here. I would rather the U.S. not be the police force to ANYONE. Let’s police the borders and prevent the poison of drugs and God knows what else from destroying the country from within.
I do believe the U.S, Navy has an Aegis boat sitting off our eastern shore to protect Washington D.C and all of our eastern cities, ready to take out any reentry vehicle with a warhead.
We will respond in kind and turn their capital into glass.
@ 1984MSGT. I have always questioned the efficiency of these missile killer as it is like a bullet trying to hit another bullet in motion. Has not been tested in real war yet. ICBM’s go much faster than the scuds that the Patriot missiles downed. I know Russia has developed ICBM’s that zigzag and don’t freefall and will actually try to avoid being hit by any defense unit. Doubt Iran would have this though. I know that many ICBM’s are also equipped with dummy re-entry vechicles also to confuse the defense missile. Even IF Iran was able to get 20 missiles over here, it would mean the complete annihilation of Iran like you said. A country to absorp some of the shear force of the U.S. nuclear force would have to be as large as China or Russia, even then those countries would look like the moon. Iran is only the size of Alaska.
War is where idiotic mistakes are made, and it should not surprise anyone if the U.S. and Russia and or China did get into a nuclear war. It has been too long since the last great war and people have forgotten just how much war is pure hell. I would say because of the energy issue that World War 3 is one of the top 5 most likely worldwide diasters that could happen this year or within 3 years.
@Be informed.
Way back when I worked for a company called TRW. Really big in things like missile defense. I was part of the team that did the prototype for the system that is being deployed. We demonstrated that a system like this can, or will, work against a small or rogue threat. Not a chance in hell against a large threat like Russia or China. More incoming warheads than interceptors.
Patriot was primitive compared to the system we prototyped. I suspect that the deployed system would make the prototype seem primitive. I’s been almost twenty years. I am not particularly concerned that the ABM system will fail to do what it is intended to do.
As for the war part, well it seems very likely. China has indicated that they will go to war over Iran. Russia and China are blocking the UN over Syria. And after what NATO did in Libya, I don’t blame either Russia or China.
http://debka.com/article/21710/ Russia needs a warm water port, and Syria a long term ally and good friends to Iran is not going to cut off their nose to spite their face. Russia WILL NOT allow itself to be further boxed in and allow a regrime change in Iran or allow themselves to be frozen in, especially since the Black Sea is so cold now you can walk across it. The drums of WW3 are beating hard and loud.
@Be informed. Not poking you in the ribs. Or at least not hard, I hope.
I think that you might have meant the White sea freezing over. Up by Murmansk. Russia does have ports on the Black sea (Rostov, etc). I don’t remember reading about the Black sea ever freezing over. Connects, more or less, with the Med.
It seems true that Iran and Syria share some, or many, goals. Don’t see either Russia or China abandoning them.
Ronald Reagan, when he was the governor of Kalifornia (still can’t give them a C) said something that still rings true. He was discussing responses against the anti war protests going on at the time. Basically what he said was if there needs to be a bloodbath, let’s get it over with.
And then we have Hilary, the senior US diplomat, using terms like ‘travesty’ towards Russia and China.
I have issues with advocating a war that is likely to kill half of humanity. I don’t think that nuclear weapons would be needed to do so. Conventional weapons are for more lethal than they were in the past. Not convinced that the politicos have left us any options. Of course the politicos will do just fine in places like the, replacements for the, Greenbrier hotel.
Be well, hope you are prepared.
@ Mortimer. Seriously!, it is so cold over there right now that people are walking across the Black Sea. Rare, I know, but I heard this on one of the news, and I believe I heard this on the Weather Channel also. Europe is in a deep freeze this year. I honestly could not believe it myself since the Black Sea is only 42-45 degrees north. Moldova has been around 0 degrees F, and today it is 10 degrees right now at 12:00 AM Monday. I don’t think the whole sea was frozen, but who knows. I have personally never seen Europe so cold. It might not happen again, but again who knows. This is strange about the weather.
The Black Sea during normal times is really the ONLY real warm water port that Russia has. Syria is the only place that is really friendly to Russia in the Mediterrean. I know it is bizarre how cold it is over there. http://www.wunderground.com has a link to practically every place on the planet and the weather there. Check out some of the temperatures in Europe, it is kind of scary to see how cold it is now, and especially how cold it was a few days ago. I know how terrible it was for me to personal live in kally, not fun. Glad you are safe and happier away from it.
@ Be informed. Not giving you any guff. Or not too much anyway. Knew it was cold in Europe. Freezing a large body of water takes a lot of either time or cold. But remember two things:
- Russia doesn’t share a land border with Syria or Iran. Syria doesn’t share a land border Iran either.
- Russian icebreakers are among the best.
Have a great day!
@ Mortimer. Not a problem at all. Russia and China are doing exactly what the U.S. does, set up military jump off points. Venezuela is one for China and Russia, and Cuba still is also in this region of the world. Syria is just about the only country that would be friendly enough to allow Russian naval ships to dock and stay there.
Iran is a huge issue for Russia because of the Caspain Sea region, while not directly bordering it, they share a special issue with the Caspian Sea. Russia is quite concerned about being boxed in and they will envoke their own Monroe Doctrine if any further areas come under Western control. Again while not bordering Iran, Russia losing Iran would be like the U.S. losing southern Mexico, and a few Central American countries to either Russia and or China control. Geographic strategic points matter in military affairs almost as much as oil reserves, just look at how important the Horn of Africa is, or the country of Panama.
The journey through the Black Sea goes right through NATO country Turkey across a narrow waterway near Istanbul, which I am sure Russia thinks a lot about much. The waterway on my atlas in called Istanbul Bogazi Bosporus. I brought up the Black Sea as kind of a strange winter weather phenomena that is real interest to me. I do know that the Russian have the absolute best ice breakers there are. They still want warm water ports.
Trust me though, the geography of the regions that surround Russia mean so much to them, they cannot allow Iran to fall into NATO and or U.S. hands, neither can China. WW3 will happen before this is allowed. Did much study back in geography classes in college over the importance of strategic points around the world and countries know that even areas half way around the world are essential to their interest. Countries and allies close to them could mean their very survival as a country. We are so teetering on a global war and non preparation people are just going about their routines like every other day. Aren’t you glad that we are not like this and think about getting ready and visiting this site that helps us prepare?
I will be watching as the new moon approaches each month, because this is probably when it will happen. You too have a great day and a great month.
@Be informed. As always.
My impression from the results of the Cuban missile crisis is that the Cubans are non players. Good for them.
Don’t see Russia or China allowing the UN to do much in Syria.
NATO changed the UN mandate from a no-fly zone to being an active combatant. Rarely see tanks from either side fly without ‘help’. Also rarely see cars and trucks, like the ones in Gaddafi’s attempt escape attempt to fly.
I don’t see Turkey attempting to stop the the Russians from using the straits. The Turks were afraid of the Germans in WWII. The Russians are far more capable.
It is true, I think, that the west allowed the Soviets to think that NATO expansion to the east would not happen. Get it in writing.
Be well.
Interesting perspective to read: http://johngaltfla.com/wordpress/2012/02/05/how-iran-could-win-a-war-against-israel-and-the-united-states-in-one-hour/ Use to listen to this program when it was on the shortwave radio. He has been accurate about many issues, especially the financial mess of 2008.
This could just be a coincidence, but there is a new moon on Feb.21st., and Obama’s national security adviser is going to Israel from Feb.18th to Feb.20th. http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/concerns-over-iran-nuclear-program-escalate-obama-sends-223359210.html This sounds a bit suspicious to me that he is leaving Israel before the 21st. and the new moon this month. Best time to attack Iran is when the night sky is at the darkest, a new moon. Might be a good time to look over everyone’s survival supplies this weekend and maybe even buy a few things also. I feel it will happen before or after the Jewish holidays, either this month or in April. What do you think everybody?
I was thinking about the new moon on the 21st. and it might not be Israel that is planning an attack on Iran, but the United States. Maybe the national security advisor is over in Israel before the new moon to prepare them for reprisals from Iran, Hezbollah, Syria, and other Arabs against Israel and other interests. Didn’t both Bush’s national security advisor also visit Israel just right before both Iraq wars?
I think it would make more sense later in the year to attack Iran, but who knows now. Something is going on, and I usually don’t play into the coincidence notion. Maybe even it is some sort of joint attack being planned. Sure would like to have a fly on the ceiling with a listening device to see what is being discussed over there this weekend and Monday. Something to think about.
It may not happen this month, BUT….. http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/u-s-official-signs-pointing-to-increasing-likelihood-of-israeli-strike-on-iran-1.413654
Why do I think this is huge? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/commodities/9077600/Iran-presses-ahead-with-dollar-attack.html
Answer: Even though it is just Iran, the U.S. dollar is solely dependent on other countries using it to purchase oil. If other countries follow suit, then you can bury the U.S. dollar or flush it down the toilet. March 20, 2012. New moon on March 22, 2012, perfect for an attack. Why not give Israel the green light to do it? How about tomorrow or this week before Iran even has a chance to try to drown the U.S. dollar? Aren’t there a couple of aircraft carriers due to the Persian Gulf at about this time next month?
India is going to settle for Iranian oil in rupees and then Iran will purchase goods from India in rupees. Other countries might discover that it is easier to sell oil in other currencies, maybe a lot more profitable. U.S. may use the excuse of the nuclear issue to protect its own interest and the very survival of the U.S. dollar to stop this. I ask this question to everyone, IF the U.S. dollar is no longer used to purchase oil, then what backs the U.S. dollar? Good faith? Yeah right!
