i never said they where doing it officially! why would they invade iraq and then declare all the oil they are taking? wouldnt it then make it obvious that was one of there objectives?
1. oil to boost its own economy!
2. presence and greater control in that region!
3. global domination
4. US attitude we do what we want! how we want! when we want!
5. to cause civil war so the muslims wipe each other of the map!
The UK ballistic missile program was actually cancelled long before the Thatcher years (1959 ish I think) although the 1st stage launch vehicle did survive as part of the ill fated Europa project. (show my age now - I actually worked at the Spadeadam test site). Europa was also eventually scrapped due to arguments amongst the european partners after several spectacular failures in the 2nd (french) and 3rd (German) stages.
Interestingly, blue streak was actually a joint UK/US venture to develop a medium range ballistic missile (1,500-2,000 miles) for launch from the UK mainland. The US only offerings were long range (4,500+ miles) missiles which were, at the time, considered inappropriate for siting in Europe.
The reason the missile was scrapped was because costs had multiplied to nearly 10 times the initial estimates and progress was excrutiatingly slow making the whole concept obsolete before it even worked (The UK didn't grab any of the top tier German rocket scientists after the end of WWII so were at least 5 yeasrs behing in comparison to US/Russia in missile development).
The concept of using a Lox/Kerosene motor as a rapid response ICBM was severely flawed from the offset due to the 15 minute fuelling time. By the time any of these missiles could of been brought to launch status they would likely of been a pile of ash !
hi mate, thanks for that bit of info! hope all is well mate, not seen u in ages!
now back to the thread lads............if the US attacks Iran, whats will the US do,
1. annihilate the entire population of nearly 70 mils, when they cann't control Iraq with a population of 20 mils and 10 years of sanctions prior to attack to wear them down.
2. bomb the nuclear plant - and what will the Iran airforce/army be doing drinking tea and eating cakes and will Iran be justified to attack mainland US because a state of war will then exist between the US and Iran.
3. involve all of the UN partners (most of which live in Europe) to do the fighting on behalf of the US, who will orchestrate from afar and the UN partners live on the doorstep of Iran
4. Fook everything up in the Middle east so that there economies and infrastructure is shot to hell so that US and partner companies can make back-hand deals with any installed government to rebuilt the countries
5. In the meantime, what will Russia, China and India be doing?????
1. agreed! all the US know how to it bomb the shit out of country blind! make up excuses how they hit terrorist camps and training facilities and insurgent hideouts and other bollox they like to make up! like the weapons of mass destruction! go on youtube where bush and powell pre-war state that iraq has definetely got nukes! post-war interview they totally deny saying it! you decide who the fools are?
2. thats what theyll try and do! to bes honest with you i dont think Iran can put a fight! the US picks on weak countries! countries that have no strong military are war torn or have been!
agree with 3 & 4 its american companies that get the contracts to rebuild! the iraqis end up paying for it too! where does the money go? back home to the US!
they take over a country, they put someone in charge who has US interests and will co-operate with the US! puppets, all politicians are puppets!
one word ILLUMINATI!!!
check the facts and make up your own mind!
