    How would that compare to ten years ago? How does that project? Do they show indication of interest in improving delivery capability and accuracy?

    Do they want a bomb?
    I understand that, but i really doubt that they will launch it the next day after they got it. Moreover, I doubt that they will launch it at all - they're not kamikadze, not the whole country

    "I understand that, but i really doubt that they will launch it the next day after they got it..."

    Sooo...you've got this ABM system stuff down to a J.I.T. distribution and installation process? What's delivery and install times looking like?

    Can multiple nuclear weapons with capable delivery systems be used to assist Iranian hegemonistic goals in the gulf? Can Europe, for instance, be better leveraged with Iranian nukes than without?

    I dunno. I think our time-lines and analysis of intent are spot-on. You seem prepared to accept the threat's existance. What's not as clear is when you believe it will tangibly manifest itself to full potential.

    That so, I'm comfortable that you'd rather err on caution's side. What might be nicer is to see this system render moot Iran's ambitions. To have a chance, it needs to be there and functional ASAP.

    If you boys decide to raise the balloon, this won't do a damn thing to prevent any of us glowing...

    sir, wouldn't a possible Chinese nuke atack be more likely to come via a JL-2 launched from a jin class submarine somewhere in the south pacific or south Atlantic rather than the DF-31.

    Sir, if you've a problem with Zraver, keep it there. Astralis, Shek, Me, whoever. You seem to ascribe to a very cynical world-view that reeks of zero-sum competition.

    S2,

    You are entitled to your views and I to mine.

    I sure would combat irrational jingoism which labels me as anti American!

    Even the Pope is not Infallible no matter what anyone states! I am sure Zraver is nowhere even close to the Pope!

    I have no problems with Shek, since he is very rational nor do I have with you!

    All nations have their problems and none should try to be holier than thou!

    And to believe that a diktat is given that this being an American board one should be respectable to American posters!

    That really takes the cake!!

    If that were so, how is it different from Pak Def? Even Pak Def does not say so!

    Is that freedom of speech and thought that the US stands for?

    Gentlemen,

    Personal attacks will not be condoned in this forum. Let's add comments that move the conversation forward. I'm not in the mood to hand out more timeouts. Thanks.

    EDIT: On second thought, this thread is now locked. The topic is fine, some of the posts aren't. If you have an issue with posts or a poster, either PM the staff or use the "Report Post" feature. Thanks.
