#1 Will Lurch just push this bit of news under the table and carry on with his quest for a very bad deal with the mullahs?

#6 See also TOPIX, DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > IRAN TEST-FIRES STRATEGIC SLCM.

More pertinent to me ala NORTH-KOREA[China?]-VS-USS-GEORGE-WASHINGTON/NIMITZ-CLASS-CVN in the East China Sea.

#8 2500km? And they're focused on its use in the Persian Gulf?

Someone needs to recheck their measurements.

#11 It's got enough distance to make multiple passes when it misses. Making those 180's takes a lot of space, even if you are invisible to radar.

#14 1600 KM Teheran to Tel Aviv straight line. Missles np doubt closer to Persian gulf. Maybe Bibi has something in mind, a more pointed way to say, "F U Barack"

#15 2500kn is the CEP - they're admitting they have no idea where its going once they light it off. Kinda like a big bottle rocket.

#16 Maybe 2 std deviations of probably of 2500 km radius indicates a servo problem

#18 Lest we fergit, to be a [Anti-US?] "US-style", Par OWG Co-Superpower Iran needs not only Nukes + Advanced MilTechs, BUT ALSO THE POTENT MODERN NATIONAL ECONOMY TO SUPPORT ITS NEWFOUND INTERESTS OR AGENDUM.

Which neither it nor any of its Sunni Rivals is going to achieve adhering to traditional or restrictive Islamic isolationism - IN MANY WAYS ITS THE SAME PROBLEM IRAN'S + SSSHHH ... CCCC US' CO-SUPERPOWER SIBLING CHINA HAS ALA TRADITIONAL-STATE-COMMUNISM-VS-FREE-MARKETS.

#19 Iff one believes that RISING IRAN = RISING CHINA, then Iran faces the same risks as China iff it doesn't decentralize or expand its sphere of influence vee the "Sole Superpower USA, namely ..

* WORLD NEWS > [SCMP] "CHINA LIKELY TO END-UP AS A FORMER WOULD-BE SUPERPOWER", SAYS EX-GOLDMAN-SACHS PARTNER [Roy Smith] WHO PREDICTED JAPAN'S DEMISE, back in 1990.

Clearly Mr. Smith must be a MADONNA FAN.

Iff Mr. Smith is correct, it may just be NUCLEAR ISLAM that takes over GUAM-WESTPAC = 1/2 OR MORE OF THE PACIFIC from Self-Retreating Globalist
Amerika = future Islamerika/Islamo-Amerika???
