Avoid Cyprus

I would stay well clear of Cyprus as that will probably be a target as it has 2 massive UK military bases there :shocking:

Iran to fire missiles if attacked

Iran would launch medium-range missiles if attacked, a military leader said, accusing Britain and the United States of arming rebels as international pressure mounts on Tehran over its nuclear plans.

Yahya Rahim Safavi, commander in chief of the Revolutionary Guard, told state television on Saturday: "If we come under a military attack, we will respond with our very effective missile defence."

Western states suspect Iran of secretly aiming to build a nuclear bomb. Tehran insists its nuclear facilities are intended to produce only electricity.

"Iran produces its own ballistic missiles and does not draw on any foreign assistance for technology," Safavi said.

    The Shababs could reach, but wont. The last test they blew up mid flight, which indicates a failure, normally. Most of Iran's missiles are defensive, in fact they just bought a massive consignement from Russia. And Iranian commanders would probably opt for firing them into the Gulf, to sink large parts of the US Navy. They wont, because of the AEGIS cruisers, but they will try. Or it will be a feint for some naval guerrilla action. They will also have some chemical/biological weapon Scuds, but those will be saved for any advance on Tehran.

    Off topic but dave777 can I ask why you're signature is an anti-Semitic link?

    That link is a fucking disgrace.

    Aside from the obvious fact that a 3-year old picked the colours, the two phrases -

    "Races? Only one human race"

    and

    "The moral and political Legitimacy of Criticizing Jewry"

    Seem to be vaguely discordant.

    Seriously mate, check under your plant pot for hidden Israeli's, whack that tin foil hat back on your head and then...oh I don't know.....fuck off?

    Yet I'm sure some people wouldn't be so bothered if it were an anti-Christian link.

    What's an "anti-Christian link"? :confused:

    Pointless comment.

    That website is disgusting and anybody seeking to promote it by plastering the link to it on their signature is most likely pursuing a fundamentalist and racist agenda. An equivalent website demonising say black Christians would similarly disgust me, or any other religious group for that matter. The content on that site is absolutely horrible.

    The fact is it’s not an ‘anti-Christian’ link and to the best of my knowledge I’ve seen few anti-Christian links ever posted here. In the same way I’ve seen few ‘anti-white’ links. From time to time trolls however have advertised racist and anti-Semitic links, as the case with ‘dave777’.

    Nice place for a visit, Antwerp. Too nationalistic and racist for my liking though.

    Oh is that something to do with the far-right Mayor? Didn’t really see any evident racism although I heard the Mayor or something in Antwerp is very right wing.

    Even if that were the case (and it’s not) it wouldn’t excuse your disgusting link; that you are thick enough to promote such a vile cause only displays your severe lack of intelligence and shows what a truly backwards and barbarous individual you are.

    While I don’t believe you and you’re thick fanatical hate-filled friends should be denied freedom of speech I think you have a nerve using the forums of a charity providing support for young people as an outlet to spread your sick racist agenda.

    (Rule 4 of these forums is for your information: ‘don’t publish links to inappropriate websites (hateful, defamatory, illegal)’. Since your link is all three you'll probably be banned soon. :)

    No Dis, its more to do with the political disposition of Antwerp and its environs. That's the bastion of the Vlaams Blok, the ultra-nationalist goons who want all foreigners out of Belgium.

    Hmm bugger. That was me wasn't it. :blush:

    I am sorry for any offence that you caused yourself by looking at it if you were. I'll pray you gain a hold over your own emotions and reactions sometime soon.

    The poor deluded fucknuts who think it is can be though, by the poor deluded fucknuts who think it is and shouldn't be. They'll fight over their delusions, and their children will learn that a delusion is the truth, and their children children will believe something else and know that is the truth, and kill more people for that new truth.

    And on and on and on......

    Or, we could stop fooling ourselves, put the fucking guns down, or pick them up, as individuals, either is good, and go build ourselves freedom, instead of trying to destroy tyranny by making more tyranny.

    Lemmy is a shitbox don.
