Is war with Iran coming?

[masquerade]

Barry is raising the stakes, sending hardware to the gulf, Iran's Imadingyslob says he will strike the west on Feb 11, things are getting quite tense.

As usual, we are doing Saudi Arabia's heavy lifting.

Tension between the US and Iran heightened dramatically today with the disclosure that Barack Obama is deploying a missile shield to protect American allies in the Gulf from attack by Tehran.

The US is dispatching Patriot defensive missiles to four countries – Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Kuwait – and keeping two ships in the Gulf capable of shooting down Iranian missiles. Washington is also helping Saudi Arabia develop a force to protect its oil installations.

I think it does have something to do with the conversation. This President is now ramping up military pressure on Iran which could very well lead to a confrontation with Iran. I was merely pointing out that if this guy had an (R) by his name,the Hopey Changey wing nuts would be completely hysterical over this development. They would all be up on their high horses screeching about "War Mongering" at this point. These same people also used to screech about how Missile Defense Shields were a big waste of time and money and didn't work at all. Yet their President seems to be relying on them pretty heavily. Hey just something to think about i guess.

Perhaps the plan all along has been to create a 'United Arab States" from see to shining sea, in which case Iran is in the way and must be taken out.

The United States of Israel.


got it.

I think war with Iran is almost inevitable.
There exists only a slim chance it will not happen.
I also think there exists a fair chance that a conflict with Iran will grow into a world conflict.

My fear is that you are correct.

But But..."Missile defense sheilds are a waste of time & money and don't work at all." Well that's what most silly Hopey Changeys were screeching only a year ago anyway. Hmm?

Christ dude if you have a PATRIOT missile battery EVERY 5 sq MILES it should work out just GREAT. Tell me how many miles of coast do we have?

 

[Cold Fusion38]

This President also just called for the largest funding for the Military in U.S. History. Man,put an (R) by this guy's name and the Hopey Changey wing nuts would be completely freaking out over this stuff. Only a year ago they were all screeching about how Missile Defense Shields were a complete waste of time and money and didn't work at all. Why the sudden change of heart?

Do you have ANY idea what constitutes a missile defense "SHIELD". Hint telling Chekov to "RAISE SHIELDS" isn't going to work. The SDI AKA "Star Wars" is NOT functional and NEVER WILL be effective on a large scale. The PATRIOT missile defense BATTERY defends SMALL strategic AREAS from LIMITED missile attacks. If the world goes up and we find ourselves in a FULL SCALE nuclear war then knocking out ONE or TWO nukes won't really mean SHIT now will it?


Oh and before you WAIL about how a US Destroyer knocked out a sattelite consider that we knew the SPEED and TRAJECTORY for WEEKS before it entered the atmosphere.

 

[LibocalypseNow]

Just put an (R) by this guy's name and i'm sure the Hopey Changey wingnuts would have a completely different reaction today. He is ramping up military pressure on Iran and this could lead to a very serious confrontation with Iran. See,Neocons and Socialists really aren't all that different. They really do agree on much more than they disagree on. They hate to admit it but it is true. They are both staunch Globalists/Interventionists at the end of the day.

 

[LibocalypseNow]

Actually,missile defense and offense from space will be a reality at some point. It's already happening. Just ask the Chinese.

 

[Cold Fusion38]

If we end up engaged with Iran watch out for N Korea. I AM TELLING YOU Kim Il Jong is TWICE as insane as Achmadineajad and he WILL take the opportunity to attack S Korea if we are engaged on THREE FRONTS and using WORN OUT EQUIPMENT!!! We have stressed EVERY aspect of our military to the BREAKING POINT and if you don't see that then you are blind or a FOOL!

 

[Cold Fusion38]

Multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle. Learn the term and understand the implications. There will NEVER be a missile defense shield that can handle a FULL SCALE attack, even the most ARDENT of missile defense shield supporters admit that FACT!

The military purpose of a MIRV is fourfold:

Provides greater target damage for a given missile payload. Radiation (including radiated heat) from a nuclear warhead diminishes as the square of the distance (called the inverse-square law), and blast pressure diminishes as the cube of the distance. For example at a distance of 4 km from ground zero, the blast pressure is only 1/64th that of 1 km. Due to these effects several small warheads cause much more target damage area than a single large one. This in turn reduces the number of missiles and launch facilities required for a given destruction level.
With single warhead missiles, one missile must be launched for each target. By contrast with a MIRV warhead, the post-boost (or bus) stage can dispense the warheads against multiple targets across a broad area.
Reduces the impact of SALT treaty limitations. The treaty initially limited number of missiles, not number of warheads. Adding multiple warheads per missile provided more target destruction for a given number of missiles.
Reduces the effectiveness of an anti-ballistic missile system that relies on intercepting individual warheads. While a MIRVed attacking missile can have multiple (3–12 on United States missiles and 3-10 on Russians) warheads, interceptors can only have one warhead per missile. Thus, in both a military and economic sense, MIRVs render ABM systems less effective, as the costs of maintaining a workable defense against MIRVs would greatly increase, requiring multiple defensive missiles for each offensive one. Decoy reentry vehicles can be used alongside actual warheads to minimize the chances of the actual warheads being intercepted before they reach their targets. A system that destroys the missile earlier in its trajectory (before MIRV separation) is not affected by this but is more difficult, and thus more expensive to implement.

Well the Chinese are making some pretty serious advancements in missile defense and offense from space. I guess we'll see where it all ends up. There has to be something to it though because many developed nations are now spending $Trillions on this missile technology.

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

I sure hope not because Obama would surrender in the first minute.

From SPACE REALLY? Well do EDUCATE me about their SPACE BASED anti ballistic missile defense system.

 

[LibocalypseNow]

Yes from space. I don't have all the specifics but China is advancing pretty rapidly in their space weapons program. I'm sure we are too though. Russia probably has some stuff out there too. They're spending $Trillions on it so there has to be something to it.

You don't have ALL the specifics well then just give me SOME of the SPECIFICS of the CHINESE SPACE BASED ANTI-BALISTIC MISSILE SYSTEM!



I mean I am SURE you're not MAKING SHIT UP are you?

 

[LibocalypseNow]

You're just deluding yourself if you think they're not working on these types of space weapons programs. Your hostility and sarcasm has been noted though.

CLASSIC!!!!! You don't have ANYTHING to back up your CLAIM/LIE!!! Unfreaking believable!! ROTFLMFAO!

No, war with Iran is not coming.

I will save this FOREVER and HAUNT you with it till the day you DIE! You just made up bullshit out of whole cloth. TOTALLY MADE UP!!!
