  1. ? Iran's missile suite does not include ICBM ICBM are global threats. The technology to get to this point is quite challenging - usually begins with simple satellites Iran does contain ballistic missiles - designed for short to medium range - variable warhead Iran's ballistic missiles would be perfect for attacking staging areas .....
  2. ...............ah, no! frequency agile phase array can't be jammed - they transmit on a vector that is coded (chirped - fully coherent) If u are talking voice com ........... it's all encrypted and directional.
  3. .......... that's the head of the FBI at the top.
  4. No question the U.S. has uber resources and agricultural output but discounting the global economy (a U.S. development, post WWII) would result in global isolation. Def effect industry and by extension innovation, domestic life and most importantly, global influence (national security) - China would (is?) take up the slack in a heartbeat. Imagine the changes in boardrooms, banking, etc.
  5. Iran is allowing Chinese flagged shipping thru the Gulf.
  6. Trump is a recognized Florida resident - and it was in Florida where he mailed his ballot. For god's sake, man - ur being pi$$ed on and told it's rainfall. I expected more.
  7. Although Nixon was not convicted of a crime a federal grand jury was prepared to indict him for his role in the Watergate scandal Nixon was never officially charged with any crimes. Nixon, of course, resigned from the presidency, August 1974 before he could be impeached or face criminal prosecution. I believe Ford did the right thing providing a pardon to Nixon. .............. suppose it should be said that was back in the day when Congress 'worked'? (double entrendre) Ask yourself this, if the same set of circumstances existed today, would Trump resign - would Congress, 'work'?
  8. An upset - but not by much. Supposedly it was low turnout - that's more of a concern - for the Right.
  9. Oh, I know the bill. "Certain circumstances" do NOT apply to Trump - at the very least it makes him out to be a hypocrite. After his rhetoric you'd think the dumb ass would be hand delivering his vote even if he needed the assist of 6 men, a wheelchair and an attending physician!
  10. "I don't want to know what the law is, I want to know who the judge is" / Roy Cohn Roy Cohn was Trump's mentor. Roy also had a tattoo of Nixon spread across his shoulders. ..............
  11. ............ and Hitler kept the trains running on time!
  12. Heard that Trump voted via so-called, 'mail in ballot' the other day. Ok, Donald, 'do as I say, not as I do'
  13. As my bio mother, good catholic, twice divorced, once said to me, 'don't be such as fool as to let religion rule your life"
  14. Nixon resigned Aug, 1974. (1982) Trump wrote Nixon a fan letter, 'I think you are one of the country's great men, and it was an honor to spend an evening with you'. (1982) 'One of my great ambitions is to have the Nixon's as residents in Trump Tower' / Trump You might get the impression that I am partisan? I could never be that weak ....... and condemn those that blindly drink the cool aide offered by any political hack.
  15. Nixon era spying (worse) on Democrats.
  16. SAVE AMERICA - a solution in need of a problem. That said, it does have a purpose - voter suppression. Likely the fools that are supporting it won't even vote.
  17. Believe me, ur asking the wrong person. As much as I have seen the benefit of faith, I also see the hypocrisy and worse. As much good as religion has done in the World, it as done as much damage With God on ur side u can do no wrong, brother.
  18. Is it possible that Trump backed out of JCPOA, knowing that with the return of sanctions, Iran would again begin enrichment? Israel desires U.S. involvement - always did! Kudos to Bibi - well played. As dozy as Biden was, he didn't fall for it.
  19. Often been said there's no atheists on the battlefield. I've seen how faith can be a balm for people in times of great tragedy - envy them at that moment. Religion has been a method of control for hundreds of years. Faith should be personal thing - without bricks-n-mortar, scripture interpretation, condemnation or discrimination.
  20. The question is why did Trump withdraw the U.S. support for the JCPOA. I fully support Israel, they have legitimate security concerns and are justified in their actions. The decision by Trump is the mystery. JCPOA notwithstanding, Iran would continue to be a threat to Israel, nukes or not. (anyone remember why the U.S. invaded Iraq?? WMD lies?) Totally understand Israel's concern re: JCPOA - Israel was not willing to take the chance - they needed the U.S. to become totally involved - ground troops would be the ideal. Cutting to the chase, Bibi saw a fool in Trump - he punked him - he used every tool in his toolbox of options The JCPOA allowed international oversight - when the agreement was cancelled by Trump Iran (duh?) spun up their centrifuges' - no question they have enriched fuel now - but it did not need to be. Trump, in his actions then and his ham-fisted manner now has made the World a much more dangerous spaceship (Russia, China, NK ........... for starters and then there's the 'kids') oh yeah, why does this doddering fool negotiate in public in the most childish of expressions.
  21. The so-called Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) also known as the Iran nuclear deal or Iran deal was an agreement to limit the Iranian nuclear program in return for sanctions relief and other provisions. The agreement was finalized in Vienna on 14 July 2015, between Iran and the Five Permanent Members of the United Nations Security Council – China, France, Russia, U.K, - plus Germany together with the European Union. The agreement was a monumental example of INTERNATIONAL agreement. EPIC Fury is NOT a monumental example of international agreement. The agreement allowed the international community to sanction Iran, to any degree, IF a violation was detected. The JCPOA agreement, July 2015, included inspections as part of its provisions. The agreement allowed for the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to have enhanced access to Iran’s nuclear facilities, including the right to a physical or technical presence in all nuclear sites. This was a significant aspect of the deal as it insured that Iran would need to set up an entirely parallel set of facilities and a SUPPLY chain if it sought to have a covert nuclear weapons program. The IAEA’s monitoring of Iran’s entire nuclear fuel cycle and supply chain, from the uranium mines and mills to centrifuge production, assembly and storage facilities, was a key element of the deal. President Donald Trump officially terminated U.S. participation in the JCPOA, May 8,2018 and directed re-imposition of U.S. sanctions on Iran. Iran began enriching uranium after the JCPOA was cancelled in 2018. Specifically, Iran resumed enriching uranium to 20 percent in Jan 2021 and to 60 percent in April 2021.
  22. ..........that 'look' does not belong on the streets - there is a reason for it, however.
