AP Sources: US readies sanctions on Iran after missile test

Can you deliver a rifle projectile ten miles into the wind? Five, perhaps?

 

Israel has always denied possessing nuclear weapons. They claim they will not be the ones to introduce nuclear weapons to the Middle East.

Yet they have ballistic missiles.

 

Iran signed the NPT, it return they were given nuclear knowhow and materials.
Then they violated the same treaty they signed.
This is why they are sunctioned.
Now they signed a treaty with the US and they are violating it yet again

 

I could have worded that better. I agree that folks take Trump seriously on a number of levels.

What we see however is that many of his proclamations are at odds with many in his own party and many of our allies.

The record turnout for Trump was based on his anti-establishment platform "draining the swamp" and so on.

As such, one of the big election questions in the minds of his supporters was whether or not Trump's anti -establishment rhetoric was just hot air. We knew Hillary was bought and paid for but we did not know for sure about Trump.

Wonder no more !

Not a month in office and Trump's is already worshiping at the trough of the establishment (touting the establishment false narrative). Get ready for yet another establishment clown puppet - same as Obama.

Taliban, Al Qaeda/Al Nusra, ISIS, Boko Haram, Al Shabaab - all share the same Saudi inspired Sunni/Salafi extremist Islamist jihadist ideology.

Saud has been arming and supporting these groups and exporting this extremist ideology all over the world for decades.

To claim "security from Islamic extremists" as justification for the Ban on several Muslim nations and not include the main Muslim nation that is the source of these extremists and extremist ideology is beyond absurd.

There is a reason for the recent court bid to be able to sue Saudi Arabia for 911.

Trump is quickly turning in to an establishment clown puppet.

 

Israel should never have been "given" nuclear weapons to begin with. This was the equivalent of opening Pandora's box. It is this that makes preventing nuclear proliferation in the ME so difficult.

These sanctions will be worth almost nothing if Russia, China and Europe are not on-board.

 

Russia's budget is set with $50 oil in mind.

Low oil prices didn't stop Russia from helping Assad, now did it?

 

Have you forgotten what you wrote in posts 22 (one mile) and post 14 (ballistic missile = nuclear war head)?

 

Israel neither confirms nor denies possessing nuclear weapons.

Strange that that line has no footnote, eh? That would make it the opinion of the article writer, would it not?

 

Well, Israel has them, and that's that. And I doubt there's any Arab country out there that doubts Israel's resolve to use them, in case defensive situation looks desperate.

No I haven't. It is you who forgotten you were talking about a bow, and now talking about a rifle

Perhaps, I'm wrong? Be so kind, and post Israel's official nuke statement?

 

It's further down in your own article:

The policy held that Israel would "not be the first to introduce nuclear weapons in the Middle East."[16]

 

I can't wait for Iran to take another U.S. Navy ship. Now Trump is in control.

Say good-bye to the Iranian Navy.

 

It is not denial, and you know it.

 

Of course, why else would they need them.

To be honest. I don't care., this doesn't concern me.

What I find amusing. Some do. This is the end to their little worlds. A missile test in a nation a thousand miles away.

"Stupid" you make your own mind up.

 

Or a conventional warhead. Iraq had plenty of short range ballistic missiles armed with conventional warheads.

 

Who'd be scared of Iran having another conventional warhead?

That's right. Nuke is a whole different ballgame, and Iran wants it.

 

Once again, have you never heard of chemical weapons?

 

Psycologically, no contest.

 

Right, because everyone outside in a major city suddenly dropping dead from nerve gas exposure while all the buildings around them are pristine does nothing psychologically.

 

Presently playing now between $50-60/barrel.

 

Why should Iran be our friend? Didn't we even interfere in their internal politics at one point? Good grief, they have no reason at all to like or even trust us right now, and this is clearly not improving under Drumpf.

I had some hope that we could at least expect sensible foreign relations/ foreign policy with this idiot, given his campaign promises and his appearing to be genuine, but now those hopes are dashed.

 

It goes both ways. Iran supposedly planted the IMD's in Iraq that harmed our troops for example. And they're a state-sponsor of terror for groups such as Hezbollah. As long as Iran supports insurgencies around the world, the violence won't stop and these countries won't be at peace. So, yes, we should take rightful blame for the Shah. But that doesn't change the facts today, that we need Iran to be a much less belligerent nation.

 

We invaded Iraq under a false premise, did a "regime change" to "liberate Iraq" and got untold numbers of people there killed in the process, and also indirectly created IS in that same process thanks to the chaos we inflicted on that generation of Iraqis, the young ones growing up to be very messed up and hateful of us and our allies. And we did this right next door to Iran! Imagine having some bully nation come into Mexico and mess around like that and leave it a violent, chaotic mess, and that after interfering in our own nation.

How in the hell is Iran being belligerent? We go and mess around and sow chaos in their part of the world, not vice versa. Then our officials get up and call Iran evil and belligerent!

 

Good!
Who really cares if Germany or France go along with it.
It´s not them who carry a majority of the weight.
As it´s the US who annually shovel out whopping sums
for both the NATO alliance,the UN,and its mostly politically
driven and affiliated organizations?
Financially speaking,it´s the US who holds all the cards.

 

The US would. Makes it harder for the US to effect Regime Change in Iran.
