Instead of Iran fooling around, they should be working on intercontinental ballistic missiles.

What's stopping them from increasing the range of their missiles, since they've sworn to NOT have nukes??

If you don't have nukes, you should at least be able to threaten US mainland. That's the only thing they fear.

they have ICBMs

but here's the thing
even the cheapest newest-gen ICBM from china costs $25m
100 ICBMs cost at least $2.5B

without nukes and the size of the us
even firing $2B or $20B worth of ICBMs will be the equivalent of a slap




that said

now they have an ICBM
all they need is a nuke test and they'd be secure

⚔QATARI ROYAL TELLS AMERICA: "YOU'RE JUST A TENANT, WE CAN KICK YOU OUT"

Member of Qatar's royal family just said about Al-Udeid Air Base (America's largest Middle East installation):

"You're merely a tenant. Don't act like you're doing us a favor.

If we dismantle your base, it barely hurts us - but for you it's cutting off one of your hands in the Middle East."

This is what happens when you push allies too hard..

Qatar's done being polite. They convinced Trump not to bomb Iran, now they're reminding him who holds the cards.

Can't project power in Middle East without Gulf bases.

And they are done playing.
Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by WriteerNg: 2:35pm On Jan 17
⚔Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto:

Italy did not start this war. Ukraine did not start this war.

Europe did not start this war. NATO did not start this war.

Someone did start it — and only that same actor can stop it.


Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by WriteerNg: 2:36pm On Jan 17
⚔Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto:

Ukraine cannot and will never win the war.

Ukraine is trying to survive.

⚔Ukraine’s Defence Intelligence:

Russia is considering options for strikes on substations of Ukraine’s nuclear power plants in order to force the signing of unacceptable capitulation demands to end the war.

⚔Anduril Founder Palmer Luckey:

You will not convince Americans to go fight another war, even if it is just.

I don't think that America could work itself up enough to go fight the Nazis again.

I think we literally don't have it in us.

⚔Anduril Founder Palmer Luckey:

Look at the kids who were on the beaches in Normandy on D-Day. Do you think that we have a few million of those?
Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by WriteerNg: 4:04pm On Jan 17
⚔Anduril Founder Palmer Luckey:

The U.S. needs to stop being the world police and start being the world’s gun store.

In other words, we shouldn’t be sending our own people to die for other countries’ interests.

We should be giving them the tools that they need to maintain their existence as a nation that the U.S. wants to be allied with.

The analogy I prefer is to turn them into porcupines.


Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by WriteerNg: 4:05pm On Jan 17
⚔Anduril Founder Palmer Luckey:

North Korea doesn’t need to fight South Korea to win.

They just need to keep having kids and making artillery shells.
Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by WriteerNg: 4:07pm On Jan 17
⚔Anduril Founder Palmer Luckey:

The United States really since the end of the Cold War has erected these ideas that the things that we're spending money on are going to keep us safe and that they're going to help our allies win any potential war that comes along.

And then we've been confronted with this stark reality. Things like the Ukraine invasion where we realize that actually a lot of these tools are sitting ducks.

You're going to have $50 million bombers blown up by $500 drones, and we don't have the tools that we need to stop them.

⚔Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto on European troop deployment to Greenland:

Imagine 15 Italians, 15 French, 15 Germans in Greenland. To me, it seemed almost like the beginning of a joke.

I believe, instead, that it is in our interest to keep the Western world, the free world, together.


Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by WriteerNg: 4:46pm On Jan 17
⚔Syrian Army:

West of the Euphrates has been declared a closed military zone after PKK militias targeted army forces during the implementation of the agreement.

Civilians are urged to stay away from military positions.

The deployment is so pathetic that I sometimes wonder whether these folks know shame at all.

⚔Netanyahu’s Office:

The announcement of Gaza’s governing council, subordinated to the peace conference, was not coordinated with Israel and contradicts its policy.

The Prime Minister has instructed the Foreign Minister to raise the matter with the U.S. Secretary of State.

⚔US Special Envoy to Greenland Jeff Landry says a deal will happen.
Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by WriteerNg: 5:27pm On Jan 17

[quote author=WriteerNg post=138166959]⚔Iran's Khamenei:

This was an American sedition. The Americans planned it, they worked on it.

America’s goal — I say this decisively and clearly — America’s goal is to swallow Iran.

This isn’t about the current US President. This is American policy.

We consider the US President a criminal, for the casualties, for the damages, and for the slander he directed at the Iranian nation.


When you guys shoot death to America it give USA sleepless night so don't blame them when they think of only evil
