cougar Posted March 25 Report Posted March 25 2 hours ago, Hodad said: Lol. I know you've been mainlining fear porn on Fox, (where they are happy to amplify all of Trump's smokescreens) but Iran wasn't that close last year (when Trump totally eliminated the threat!) or this year when he's "totally eliminating the threat" ...again. And they don't have any way of targeting North America. Not a threat to us. That's a lie. That does NOT mean that I want a nuclear Iran. I for sure do not want a nuclear Israel! With Trump , he is so dumb that he can start a nuclear war over a Nobel peace prize! In 2002 Bush attacked Iraq with same pretence of looking for nuclear weapons. None were found. Now a quarter of a sentry later, the same is being done to neighboring Iran. It has nothing to do with nuclear weapons. It has to do with oil, US interests in the Middle East, Trumps personal enrichment and the Israel's desire to rule militarily and expand. 2 Quote

I'm more inclined to say it's only for Trump's enrichment, but not many seem to care about that anymore because it's become so commonplace. On Monday ~$580 million dollars in oil futures were shorted and sold in the minutes before Trump announced on his TS site that he was delaying strikes on Iran, who denied talking to the US. Oil moved downward and some profited greatly. You'd have to be pretty naive to think Trump had nothing to do with that, and isn't profiting from it somehow. 1 1 Quote
Reg Volk Posted March 26 Report Posted March 26 3 hours ago, Moonbox said: Yes that's the saddest part of this clown show presidency. He's set back American diplomacy and reliability by decades. China is the devil people know, and despite their non-benevolence, they are presenting as the more reliable partner. They're not setting their foreign policy and trade-deals based on the fragile feelings of an 80-year man baby with absolutely no morals or scruples whatseover. Biden was the one who set back American diplomacy by decades, along with Obama, as they were weak and horrible leaders. The US is now back, and the world has to get used to them not being led by weak feminized men any more. 1 Quote As Democrat and Liberal governments fall, Republicans and Conservatives come to the rescue.

It's the same mentality that drives their wanting to leave the crazy people on the streets with 100 arrests until they stab someone on the subway and then turn around and want to get someone for murder when they try to stop a crazy person on the subway from killing people. 2 1 Quote
John Stone Posted March 26 Report Posted March 26 17 hours ago, Legato said: Frequency agile radar can be jammed, although it is significantly more difficult than jamming fixed-frequency radar. While agility forces jammers to spread energy across a wider bandwidth, reducing their effectiveness, techniques like wideband barrage noise, rapid sweep jamming, or advanced Digital Radio Frequency Memory (DRFM) can overcome it. Jamming Techniques Against Frequency Agility: Barrage Jamming: A "brute force" method where the jammer transmits noise over the entire bandwidth of the radar's possible frequency hops. While it covers all frequencies, it dilutes the jammer's power, making it less effective against the specific frequency in use at any given moment. Sweep/Follower Jamming: The jammer attempts to quickly identify the current frequency and sweep its power to that specific spot. Modern agile radars change frequencies so fast that this often leaves a time delay where the aircraft is unmasked. Cognitive/Intelligent Jamming: Modern jammers use AI and machine learning to sense the environment in real-time, predict, or instantly react to the radar’s hopping strategy to disrupt it. DRFM (Digital Radio Frequency Memory): This technique records the incoming radar signal, manipulates it (adding delay or shift), and retransmits it to create fake targets or range deception, even if the frequency changes within a pulse. I doubt Iran is simply using IFF transponders to identify 'friendly' shipping - but it could be as simple as that. The IFF interrogator would be encrypted with something akin to what's called, Mode 4. The narrowest point in the Hormuz transit is less than 20 miles wide - not even Rader horizon - viz distance. Military radars today are broadly termed, 'phased array' - software makes them extremely efficient The manner in which they operate is on a 'bearing' transmission line - no rotating antenna? The transmission is 'chirped' to provide max tx power - the transmission is incredibly long and modulated - the detection is 'on' the modulation. Conventional radar might transmit for 1-5 microseconds - a chirped radar will transmit in 100 micro second burst - on a bearing line. Military radars today are very sophisticated - CCS and software? Oh, baby. Quote

No one cares if you or any of your geezer gullible fool boomer pals don't go to the US anymore. This is just virtue-signaling crap. As for the Americans being "shunned and isolated" that's impossible, too many countries, including our own here in Canada, have been run for too long as welfare states as we've allowed extremely weak and stupid people to run them for far too long. We're like drug addicts now, hooked on the US economy, because it was far too easy to do it instead of looking elsewhere. We had a chance to build pipelines and LNG plants, but we listened to fools telling us that there was "no business case" for it, because of the man-made climate change myth. We did it to ourselves. As for Americans being "hated" - what a stupid word to use. A lot of us have relatives in the USA, and American players play on our favorite NHL and CFL teams. It's impossible to "hate" the Americans for most Canadians, other than the sad sack losers who sit glued to the CBC all day, and enjoy wallowing in hate. I really didn't like the US when Obama the loser and Biden the vegetable were running the show, but I've forgiven the Americans for those mistakes. Now it's time to move on, and stop with the hate. Turn off the CBC, end your subscription to the Globe and Mail, take a deep breath, and step out of the hate-filled anti-US echo chamber. It will do you a world of good.

I believe you really means this, but Americans get this all the time, even as the status quo is maintained for economic ties between the U.S. and Canada. Many Canadians will continue to consume American media, use American media platforms, consume American made products, travel to America as snowbirds or to visit family which have already moved to the U.S. We even have American citizens who say they are leaving, but few actually do, and many of those come back after seeing what kind of "paradise" the rest of the world is (including Canada).

Detection of Activity: The Wikipedia article on Iran and weapons of mass destruction and reports show that IAEA reports have found traces of uranium at undisclosed locations, establishing physical evidence of previous research. Infrastructure: Iran maintains advanced centrifuge facilities, such as those at Natanz, which are used for enrichment and have been expanded, says High-Level Enrichment: As of 2025, Iran possesses enough uranium enriched to 60%—a level far beyond civilian use—that, if further refined to 90%, could produce multiple nuclear weapons. Weaponization Research: Documents obtained by Israeli intelligence (the "atomic archive") in 2018 indicated that Iran maintained a covert program to develop nuclear weapons after 2003, with Institute for Science and International Security reports suggesting efforts continued into 2025 at sites like Taleghan 2, per the Wikipedia article on Nuclear facilities in Iran.
