Turkey to join MRBM club
 

Saudi has them now Turkey is going for some Scuds.

2,500 km would put Tel Aviv, Moscow, Berlin and Paris within range of missile attack. :o

It ends with "uclear"

Wouldn't that be enough for reaching Tehran as well? :hmmm:

So it would have the range to slightly annoy 3 nuclear armed countries.:yawn:

Best we keep the tornados then....to seek em out :DL

With Iran having moved the majority of the key facilities of its nuclear program beyond reach of conventional ammunitions, in installations moved up to several hundred meters into mountains and inside bunkers of steel concrete walls of several meters thickness, it is clear to Israeli insiders and intel sources that Iran can no longer be stopped from having nuclear weapons. Said Israeli sources say that even a full scale aerial war by the US and Israel, waged over several weeks and months, would delay the Iranian success by only 1- 2.5 years. Israeli intel warns against the incalculatable risk of an Israeli air war against Iran. The goivenrment may bnoast with loud words - their specialists now it better. Not to mention the immense risks of doing intense long range air missions over poentially unfirnedly territory, with mid-air refueling leaving any plane extremely vulnerable.

And as I have argued many times, the Iranian bomb will be the starting shot for a new nuclear arms race.

Turkey is out of the blocks now - that was my first thought when reading the news. Egypt, Saudi Arabia, maybe Libya and Syria, will follow.

Welcome to nuclear cold war 2.0 with increased risk level. I predict there will come a time when useful Western idiots will curse they did not have the balls to turn Iran into a burning piece of ashes as long as they still had the opportunity to. Western weakness and hesitation was and is never a virtue. No matter how it is being watched: weakness never is anything else but just weakness, hesitation never is anything else but paralysis caused by fear.

It is too late to prevent Iran by military means to become a bomb owner now. That'S why I oppose any war against Iran by now. I realise since several weeks that the window of oppoirutntiyx for that option has been allowed to close. Those sanctions starting in summer will not change anything. The only alternative would be limited nuclear strikes on certain key facilities, by use of small-scaled nuclear weapons specialised for large-scale bunker busting. And I am also certain that no government in the West has the guts to use them. It's better to have another - far more dangerous - Pakistan.

The last and decisive mistake has been made in the match - by the West, and it is the last weak move in a long series of erratic moves. In fact it was a very dumb, idiotic player playing against the Iranians. While the match will run on for some more moves, the victor already is clear. Iran has won.

"But at least we have tried."

"But we meant it oh so well."

"The bad bad Iranians did not want like we wanted them to want."

"Wouldn't it have been nice if..."

...

SIGH. :zzz:

Idiots may mess up things because they are idiots. But that they did so because they are idiots, will not make enable them to evade paying the price forbeing idiots. Idiocy doesn't save your from penalty.

Right, because a West that turns countries into 'a burning piece of ashes' at the slightest risk to its own dominance is so strong, wonderful and worth defending - after all, we'd never be so irresponsible as to use our own legally-obtained, internationally-sanctioned destructive might to kill a lot of people.

Oh.
Wait.

^ :yeah:

With some cargo ships, Turkey will soon have the ultimate weapon on their hands. We're through the looking glass, people.

See my sig quote. You can't really complain when someone else of lesser vision does the job that you could have done better.

Cargo Ships? Heck I wouldn't put it past them to build a submarine to deliver them. They have experience driving subs and they have the shipyard that can build them.

Then we're all dead already. I'll be taking my razor and headed to my bathtub. Remember me as a peacemaker.

We have thousands of missiles aimed at us anyway.
Few more few less who cares.
Those Arabs need to start drinking beer and have more fun.:haha:

(they are pissed about something all the time...must be something about western word dominance i think:yawn:)

There seems to be some consensus on that aspect of it...
(link NSFW)
(Oh hat tip to Dowly)

They are pissed because because their leaders need to keep them that way in order to stay in power. Otherwise they get Muammars wages.

A wonderful definition of our Western decadence I read by some British historian in a newspaper I think early last year:

a civilisation or empire, while nearing the end of its living cycle and now being in the phase of its decline, has become "decadent" not when it is too old or too weak or too overstretched to defend itself anymore, but when it no longer can realize why it should even want to defend itself and what it stands for, since it cannot or does not want to imagine anymore that anyone could ever want to overwhelm its glorious, shining existence. Once in this phase, all argument and all rational debate has become an exercise in futility.

In this light, we are as decadent as the term could ever imply. That others have been falling into the same trap like we do now, is not really of solace.
