Does anybody know what kind of missiles those are?
I am guessing they could be upgraded to hold nuclear types of warheads, or some other type of fission which doesnt leave radiation residue like nukes do.
Iran doesn't have a nuclear weapons program. Every intelligence agency on the planet has said this time and again.
I remember reading some time ago they can make the equalivent of a nuclear explosion without nuclear weapons now, and with none of the radiation residue like nukes have. Cant seem to find a link to the report.
Anyways they were saying they have better stuff than nukes or something to that effect.
I think it may have been some kind of laser technology Iran had. . . . .

What frightens me the most is due to our own hubris and full on propaganda, it's impossible for the average citizen to even gauge how the international community feels.
Here's the rub. We've been poking our sticks at nations like China, Russia, North Korea, Iran, Brazil, Venazuela ,etc for quite some time. Other toppled nations like Iraq, Libya, Afghanastan will never forget what we've done to their country and countryman.
Certain "allies" can't be trusted and this includes India.
Until one day we look up and realize these multiple nations are no longer that, but a Chimaera. Can the U.S. And it's Europian allies really stand up to that many nations? Doubtful.

The U.S. Has no choice but to respond and the response will need to be as such to make most if not all adversaries to think twice before joining together in opposition to her might.
Russia has called the U.S.'s bluff and all other nations are watching. That's what makes this such a dangerous scenario.
This Administration has got to be the stupidest in this nations history. He appears soft to the world and our enemies see it. Incidentally, it's the battle hardened presidents other nations are wary of, and all the drone strikes in the world isn't going to change that. Obama already blinked!

Because soo many people have a bias against Iran period.
Sooooo many people think the USA will just be able to easily take out Iran, when the truth is perhaps the opposite, if a conflict were to happen with Iran, they may never be defeated, who knows what they really have or what we really have.
I remember reports of them having thier own space fleet of UFOs back a few years ago I wouldnt be suprised if they did.

I think the fact that USA itself, their land etc is pretty much untouchable...it makes the fact they cannot actually 'lose' any war so to speak, they think it is that easy to win. They are 2 different things, and to me It seems like USA just plays war in places to keep training up or others from gaining strength, I don't really know.
WHen you look at the list of countries above. Venezuala is the closest to the US, ..but the problem there is 1. they would never get there, they have no air force or navy to speak of. 2. if they did row their way up there, hypthetically of course, and land in Miami they would find their entire army outgunned by the civilian population of that city alone. Brazil is a little better but not by much, they pose no actual threat to US lands. North Korea, U.S. is right there to attack their home, but they can't get near U.S. China and Russia teamed up can get to maybe 70% of the U.S. navey but when will they decide to roll those dice and risk losing everything? Not likely and they aren't exactly blood brothers.
This is just my view of why U.S. think any war will be easy, because in effect, it will never come to their homeland. No matter how much you dislike them, thats not really debatable other than some minor terrorists attacks or maybe some surprise attack(not sure how) they can not be touched.
Wow I wonder if those are nukes?

Lets put it this way. Russia went ballistic on Iran and chewed their backsides when they switched to those new style nose cones on their missiles because they work best with a nuclear warhead. The one and only time Russia stood up and took notice of how serious Iran was getting and they did not like it one bit.
