Iranian blockade of persian gulf

Recommended Posts

UK heading for Iran http://www.presstv.com/detail/222823.html

 

Could we see another False Flag to start yet another great war? http://www.presstv.com/detail/222823.html

 

Firstly, you know you've linked to the same thing twice right?

 

Secondly, it's press TV, the entirely state run and controlled Iranian propaganda network.

That's exactly what did happen in the UK with the introduction of the Firearms (Amendment) Act 1997.

 

I'll bet all the dealers and homeboys fell over themselves to hand theirs in like good little citizens after that passed.

No, it was a stupid law that was only ever going to take guns away from the law abiding who used them for target shooting.

On the other hand, there are a lot less guns on the street in the UK than the US and a far lower rate of gun crime, so simply handing them out to anyone who fancies it clearly isn't a good approach either.

Iran is next.. All this scare mongering is like Iraq and Afganistan. History just repeats itself.

 

America will not stop until it has control over everything.

Maybe if and when Iran does block the Strait of Hormuz then we should just let them do it. Perhaps when you can no longer get your car filled up and bus and train fares double you'll be singing a different tune.

 

We'll feel the effects in the US as well in the form of rising prices at the pump but we'll still be able to get our petrol supplies which is more than you will.

 

Go buy yourself a pair of stout walking shoes and be prepared in advance :D

There's no harm in a law abiding citizen having the right to own a gun. It's just a matter of common sense laws being in place when guns are purchased.

 

In California there is a three day waiting period before the gun can be picked up. During that time the prospective buyer's name is submitted to the FBI's main data centre and local police agencies for a criminal background check. There is also a written test on basic firearm safety to be taken and passed by the buyer.

 

You are also required to have that gun officially registered in your name

 

The UK is in a strange situation when it comes to firearms. A police officer answering a call to go to a high crime area to deal with an incident is expected to go there unarmed whereas there may be a number of people in that area who own guns illegally. Not a situation I'd care to be in.

Cuba and North Korea should be very careful too.

Something in the US has failed then.

In the UK very few people are ever shot, including police officers.

One word that seems to be missing from the debate is alleged as there is no proof whatsoever that Iran are actively developing nuclear weapons. Its all just propaganda and guesswork.

 

They do not have the capacity or technology in place to enrich uranium enough for use in any bomb and even if they did it would take many more years to do so. Another point that has already been made is in order to do any damage to Israel, or any other country, they would need several high yield bombs to do so otherwise its Iran that would be wiped out.

 

Even with the resources and money available to the Manhattan project it took the US several years to get enough uranium enriched for just one simple low yield bomb.
