Iranian missiles can strike Europe

WASHINGTON [MENL] -- Iran has at least 20 missiles that could strike targets in Europe.

A leading U.S. missile analyst said Iran has acquired an arsenal of BM-25 intermediate-range missiles that could strike Europe. Riki Ellison, president of the Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance, said the U.S. missile defense umbrella was insufficient to protect against Iranian missiles.

"Iran has over 20 intermediate-range missiles that can reach continental Europe," Ellison said. "These 20 BM-25 missiles were purchased from North Korea in 2005 and are a variant of the Soviet SS-N-6 submarine-launched ballistic missile. With a range beyond 3,000 kilometers, these missiles pose a direct threat to central Europe."

They will sleep through this story, too. Europe will not awaken until Sharia is the law of the EU.

I suspect Europe is “safe.” These are likely the only ones that can reach Israel also.

Russia can’t yet afford to rebuild thier nuclear missile arsenal to thug europe and the west, so they are using proxy’s like Iran do to it for them.

So far MAD has been the best way to keep peace.

How many will have to be lobbed into Europe to wake them up to the threat we all face?

MAD only works when neither party is suicidal.

Speaking of precision airstrikes, maybe we should teach them how it is done.

They have no reason to lob them into Europe.

They have a secure 5th column in Europe.

Yasser Arafat, terrorist leader, Jew exterminator, got a full state funeral in France.

Iran and Syria will nuke Israel with these in due time.

Pelosi will be in shock that her new friends, who only “wanted peace”, killed a few million in one day.

Did Chamberlain live the remainder of his life in shame and embarrassment after he sucked up to Hitler? Will Pelosi?

With all that to fear in Europe, I rank our border crisis as a much bigger threat. This is how civilization collapses: one ignored duty after another.
