Hahaha, yeah that movie definitely tests you. Mentally.

Point but even they must have some voices of reason. If not reason at least pragmatism. So one would hope.

It’s interesting to read about the other systems you mentioned. I know Iron Dome wasn’t designed for bigger missiles, I will admit I find it’s little brother system interesting as well.

Oh. That makes sense I guess. He must’ve wrangled some deal. I’ll miss seeing the Johnnie Walker label on the cars though. I’d like to know how much the new deal is for, because it sure doesn’t look like title sponsorship from the placement.

Well I bet they still have more money than the other mid grid outfits but I wager after this season when they take the big hit on prize money we’ll see just how much they’re getting hit financially. They have two very expensive drivers, an engine problem that needs millions to fix (albeit it could be argued Honda will…

Given how Israel nips things like this in the bud, long before they get a chance to gestate, it makes me wonder why they didn’t act when the Iranian program was at a nascent stage. I guess the logistics of the issue came to hand but still, I hope such a situation doesn’t come to pass. Like Lazarus mentions, nuking…

You must really dislike Cloud Atlas then. I swear the credits were the most mind blowing part of that movie considering how they essentially use 6 people to shoot the whole thing

Peter Sellers is excellent in this movie. What a talent

as gung ho as Israel is, using nukes in the region is a can of worms I wager they’re wise enough to avoid. If they take action which I believe they would’ve, or would at the drop of a hat if they truly felt threatened, I sincerely hope and doubt nuclear weapons will be involved.

Fair enough, that makes sense. I wonder if you get MIRV conventional warheads. I agree ICBM was a misnomer in my initial question. That being said, I bet it has just enough range to target Israel of course. Any ballistic missile would be too fast for Iron Dome correct?

Not just the F-35. Lot of vitriol on the threads here these days. I miss the discourse (it’s still there, just needs a lot of sifting now)

Yeah I think arguing setting up the NHS vs anything else at that time in history wouldn’t be looked upon kindly. So yes, I understand that it’s sad that a country that prides itself on its heritage chose at that time to attend to the here and now (in 1945). Who knows, I’m sure there’ll still be trinkets preserved for…

Funny, I actually watched it again recently so I appreciate the reference. I see the reasoning.

Rambo 6: Assault on the Ayatollah

amusing to hear the crimson tide tune at the start. Also why are so many of them wearing sunglasses in a tunnel!?

Incredible story

The love-in between you and ColonialSaab has been one of the better threads on FA lately.

I think you deserve to be granted an article on the basis of sheer persistence and your well worded arguments. Clearly this pains you but like someone said earlier. After the war Britain needed to rebuild, it was tired, broke, and had a myriad issues to deal with.

Wonder what the rationale behind publicly showing something like this on TV would’ve been? I imagine that those in the defence aparatus of the US or Israel would’ve been aware but I’m trying to think what political mileage could be had from this. On a different note, does it make sense to have an ICBM with a…

I think it tells you something alarming when the once mighty Mclaren, still probably one of the most storied F1 names out there has so drastically reduced it’s cache amongst sponsors that it can’t get a title sponsor. Only his pride could’ve blinded Ron so completely from the reality of the situation. Any word on how…
