Are these little pea wees trying to pretend war games to threaten the USA? What a joke. If they really want war with us they will be very sorry. If the USA has the will, we could wipe them off the face of the desert in a few minutes with our destructive bombs.

Actually, they may want to provoke a war. I wouldn't put it past that moonbat of a "president" they have now. The country is ripe for revolution; the population is young and sophisticated compared to other Muslim countries, and chafing under the iron rule of the mullahs. I wouldn't doubt that the nutburgers running the country might decide that provoking the Great Satan to attack them would be the best way to crush internal dissent and unite the populace behind them in patriotic fervor. And it might work.

We could defeat them, but Iran is a huge country with a big population. Defeating them would be one thing; if we had to do it, occupying them would be another.

Let's see if I got it right. Iran launched a top SECRET missile. This was the third in a week. Where did they launch the first two, underground?

Why occupy? They'll be in the stone age. Hostile, yes. But bombed into the 7th century.

What the heck is that? A harbor buoy?

It's Irans latest home-built sub. I kid you not. There are a couple articles about it on FR you can look up. I've nick-named it the "SuiSub".

Don't laugh too much. During WWII, the Italians were able to change the balance of power, temporarily, in the Med with
smaller underwater "craft".

the United States must recognize Iran as a "big, regional power."

The US owns Iran. And the rest of the visible and invisible universe.

Ultra horizon huh?

They can now fire icbm's from planes?

Or is that the missles can actually be fired into the air?

I agree with you that we're 110% ready for 'em, still, I don't think it's been a good idea at all to invite all these Third World types over the years to come over here and study engineering at our best universities......

What good does it do Iran to have a "top secret" weapon if nobody knows about it?

There's an old adage:

"Walk loudly and carry a small twig"....
