Iran Placing Medium-Range Missiles in Venezuela; Can Reach the U.S.

The Jupiter missiles were reputed to not be that reliable or accurate anyway. It was really no great loss.

Where’s JFK when you need him?

Bomb Iran and Venezuala?

We can do that!

[GOPJ]

Thanks for the ping...

[GOPJ]

I think we are almost to the point where we need to take them out.

Off in the distance a clock is ticking...

[OwenKellogg]

Bomb Iran and Venezuela?

We can do that!

************

Yes we can. But our leaders would rather outsource that kind of thing to a call center in India, rather than to trust Americans.

[Taxman]

For the right price, perhaps I’d do it!

[Quix]

Doh . . . . what did we think they would do . . . traitorous bustards.

I imagine you have a lot of stuff going on with this post... I caught this on Drudge at some point in the last night... Or morning... or whatever, whenever.

I believe that given our weak CIC, there will be a lot of tonnage inexplicably sinking in deep waters. And a lot of torpedo/missile test drills that were “prescheduled”...

It becomes an inventory shrinkage/accountability/management issue now determined by the adults in control of the platforms.

If the USN has anyone with a ball left the deep water flounders will be seeing a steel rain for some time.

The one will be long gone before these third world turds can work out launch logistics anyhow.

We just need to let loose Colombia on Venezuela, someone would cap Chavez in the head with 48 hours to avoid that.

For a depleted Uranium bomb in the 12 KT range

Depleted uranium is depleted. It will not undergo a sustained reaaction. ????????????????

[fanfan]

I like the way you think!

[Sergio]

Thank you fanfan. I’m sure the folks in “plans” have already thought of this, they are much more sneaky than I.

The Jupiter IRBM’s were due to be retired anyway, being kerosene and liquid oxygen fueled as well as being land based non-hardened installations. The former made for reliability problems and longer response times. The latter - the Soviets knew their locations, in fact the missiles in Italy were overflown by a reconnaissance MiG. Our first generation SSBN’s were coming on line then, a more than even replacement. The Jupiter and Thor IRBM’s were only intended as a stop gap until the first generation ICBM’s (Atlas, Titan I) came on line.
The real reason the missiles were pulled out of Cuba was because Castro and Guevara wanted to take control of them and launch them. That scared the crap out of Khruschev.

[stboz]

Khruschev...Nikita Sergeyevitch...

Didn't care for his politics, but, after all these years I can't help but like him.

Putin...? He'd get a lot more mileage if he'd smile.

Oh jeez - I should have known! Posting to a thread from years ago. Dunh!

What if they don’t care if it’s fissile? Dirty might be enough for them.
