Not F14s then, and not F22s now.
Iran was *the only* country besides the US to fly F14s.
Today the F22 is *illegal* to sell to any other country.
Even our closest allies aren't allowed to buy them.
We lease nuclear armed Trident missiles to the UK, but if they wanted F22s the answer would be...
I have no idea if he's really an asshole, or if that's just how the media portrays him.
Lots of evidence that he's a decent guy too. But of course that's not a story they want to tell.
When it comes to the deep state, like most things, demolition is much easier than construction.
Wish he kept close with Musk. The real solution is to tear down what took decades to build.
The Shah was so in our pocket that we were in the middle of selling him our most advanced fighter jets right when he was deposed (F14s).
And the Ayatollah was so *not* our friend that the technicians who were delivering the F14s sabotage them on their way back out of the country. Right on top...
I thought the CIA installed the Shah ?
And they certainly didn't install the Ayatollah. We (CIA included) *liked* the Shah.
We hated the Ayatollah so much that we funded Saddam Heussein to fight him all through the 80s.

Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy: Symptoms, Causes, Treatment, Warnings Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy
Is child abuse, and is typically prosecuted, unless they go the trans route.
Yes, but they absolutely do not want that to come to trial and have to defend it.
The same reason SAFE act charges all got plead down or never filed.
They're afraid they would lose and the whole law would be gone. If that never happens they can keep threatening people with it.
And the voting age was dropped from 21 to 18 in 71.
In 1970 a 19 year old could drink but not vote.
Just a couple years later it was the other way around.
Wait till they find out how many pill bottles I have full of small screws and nuts....
Here's what you really want for a trip to the range....
OK, now I want to find a shooting range that offers caddy service.
"Sir, this is a par 450yd, might I suggest the .308 ?"

The only actual federal charge for an unregistered NFA item is "tax evasion", since the entire thing is based on the power to tax.
What happens when the first guy charged with an unregistered something claims he can't be charged for not paying a $0 tax ?
$0 is a huge difference from even...
Age is a terrible proxy for maturity. It's not much better than shoe size.
We absolutely need a better way to decide who has reached adulthood than "managed to not die for x years".
So it's fine to require all that for voting too ?
No, "shall not be infringed" means *exactly* what it sounds like.
If someone can't be trusted with the same sorts of weapons the military has, then you lock them up. Anything less is theater.
It's understandable when the count climbs. You can find new victims, and previously injured victims can die.
But how to people get un-shot ?
And is the health care in Kootenai county so good that they're bringing people back from the dead ?
Wonder how hard it would be to fit a JDAM kit to a whole pig.
Would be a bit poetic if this dude was taken out by a slab of bacon that hits him out of the sky.
Imagine Apple stops doing business in Canada and all those liberals phones stop working.
Then they try to Google why and just get a "404 not found" error.
The thing is, almost any missile with a warhead over 200lbs is "nuclear capable", and Iran has had their own ballistic missiles for a long time.
Probably 75% of the stuff they lobbed into Isreal is "nuclear capable".
So that's not really news. But they'll throw the N word into the headline...
Because the conservative judges have more integrity and don't generally exceed their authority.
And that's actually a problem, because we won't put an end to that until the left feels the pain too.
So conservative justices *should* say "well, if they're going to do this, so should we until...
You must get your news from some very strange sources.
"Pakistan offered them nukes 6 months ago" LOL.
I'm going to take "things that didn't happen for $500 Alex".
You know how I know it didn't happen ? Because Iran doesn't have any nukes. There is no way they wouldn't have taken that...
Oh, Medvedev, the guy who threatens to start a nuclear war every other week.
Yea, sure, that's going to happen.
And Pakistan ? The country that just nominated Trump for the Nobel peace prize ? You think *they* are going to sell Iran nukes because they don't like Isreal ?
Are they that...
Where did you hear that N Korea or Pakiatan was willing to sell nukes ?
No country in the history of ever has sold a nuke.
Closest is we lease Tridents to the UK. But they are still our missiles, and we can cancel the lease and take them back.
If anyone starts selling nukes they will...
I do not think characterizing the US Russia relationship as "close friends" was ever accurate. And certainly for most of my life they were either outright enemies or just lumped in with the rest of the former Soviet Republics as "poor bastards in the east". Then the last 15 years or so, they...
I think in this case we *will* know in the coming months.
Iran is, for sure, going to dig those out and see for themselves what the damage is first hand.
And they will not be able to keep those secrets.
It will be obvious to the world how effective this was before the end of the year.
If...
I don't know when you were born, but I think "most of your life" might be a stretch.
Up through the 80s they were the "evil empire". In the 90s they were like a new dog we rescued from the pound, fresh out of bondage and we wanted to help them become successful global citizens.
By the mid...
I think you are not seeing what a Germany still under Nazi rule would look like.
For one thing, they would have been allowed to continue covering up the scale of their atrocities. Might even have been able to continue them.
Think of Iraq, post desert storm, but when Saddam was still in...
Yes, *one* bomb can do that.
When you drop multiples on the same hole they can go deeper.
Basically it's 200 feet of rock. The first one turns that rock into much softer rubble, so the second one can penetrate deeper.
There is a diminishing return, but the first few down the hole will...
They built them deeply enough that no weapon in the world could reach them.
So we designed the MOP specifically to do that.
It is the *only* non nuclear weapon in the world capable of doing that, and the nineteen B2s are the only planes *in the world* capable of dropping them.
Going deeper...
