Iran sortof Threatens World War if Turkey deploys Patriot system
2012-12-16
General Hassan Firouzabadi, the Iranian armed forces chief, said Iran wanted its neighbor Turkey to feel secure but called for NATO not to deploy the Patriots in its easternmost member state, which also borders Iran.

"Each one of these Patriots is a black mark on the world map, and is meant to cause a world war," Firouzabadi said, according to the Iranian Students' News Agency. "They are making plans for a world war, and this is very dangerous for the future of humanity and for the future of Europe itself."
Iran is, oddly enough, neither a Germany nor a Japan of 1930s provenance, however much the mullahs fancy themselves Allah's Chosen. And even so, both Germany and Japan lost their war.

#3  World war + a threat to Europe.

* ION TOPIX > NATO SECRETARY-GENERAL [Anders Rasmussen] OFFERS RUSSIA AGREEMENT ON MUTUAL NON-AGRESSION GUARANTEES.

Because the 1939 Pact between Hitler + Stalin worked out so well???

versus

* SAME, DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > SOVIET STYLE DISINTEGRATION AWAITS US: GORBACHEV.

Lest we fergit, SEND THE MESSAGE TO GORBACHEV - TORA, TORA, TORA!

Vlad-proposed, US-alleged "Soviet-esque" Eurasian Union versus North-South American Union dominated by "SOviet Amerika"? = OWG TRANS-REGIONAL GOVT, UNION???

WE DON'T EVEN 2015 OWG NAU OFFICIALLY YET + WE'RE ALREADY PLANNING EXTRA/POST-NAU???

#2  I can't help but note the increase of boasting by Admirals and Generals about their particular services, and the lack of public posturing by Assman Johnnie.
Seems like the empty suits are setting up defensive perimeters.
