Syria Threatens "Surprise" Response To Israel Air Raid; Iran And Russia Pile In
In the aftermath of yesterday's surprising attack by Israel on Syrian soil, an act which any prior justification notwithstanding is a clear act of war sovereign aggression, it was only a matter of time before Syria responded, at least diplomatically at first. And as we also noted yesterday that "Iran has previously warned that any attack on Syria is the same as an attack on Iran" it was safe to assume that Iran would have a thing or two to say in response as well. Earlier today they did just that, with Syria warning that a "surprise" response to the Israel attack is forthcoming, while the "Iranian deputy foreign minister Hossein Amir Abdullahian said the attack "demonstrates the shared goals of terrorists and the Zionist regime... It is necessary for the sides which take tough stances on Syria to now take serious steps and decisive stances against this aggression by Tel Aviv and uphold criteria for security in the region." Finally yesterday we wondered "how Russia and/or China which have made clear that Syria is a strategic geopolitical center for both in the past will react", and today we know: "Russia, which has blocked Western efforts to put pressure on Syria at the United Nations, said that any Israeli air strike would amount to unacceptable military interference." So far nothing from China, which has in the past let Russia be its proxy on Syrian matters.
And while the rhetoric has soared on all sides, it remains to be seen if Syria will indeed challenge Israel or if it will retain its bluster, an act which will simply invite Bibi to launch ever more offensive sorties until one day something finally does snap.
From Reuters:
Syria protested to the United Nations on Thursday over an Israeli air strike on its territory and warned of a possible "surprise" response.
The foreign ministry summoned the head of the U.N. force in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights to deliver the protest a day after Israel hit what Syria said was a military research centre and diplomats said was a weapons convoy heading for Lebanon.
"Syria holds Israel and those who protect it in the Security Council fully responsible for the results of this aggression and affirms its right to defend itself, its land and sovereignty," Syrian television quoted it as saying.
The ministry said it considered Wednesday's Israeli attack to be a violation of a 1974 military disengagement agreement which followed their last major war, and demanded the U.N. Security Council condemn it unequivocally.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon expressed "grave concern". "The Secretary-General calls on all concerned to prevent tensions or their escalation," his office said, adding that international law and sovereignty should be respected.
Russia, which has previously made it very clear it will not tolerate US intervention in what it considers it own backyard, was quick at passing judgment:
"If this information is confirmed, we are dealing with unprovoked attacks on targets on the territory of a sovereign country, which blatantly violates the U.N. Charter and is unacceptable, no matter the motives," Russia's foreign ministry said.
Finally, Iran:
An aide to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Saturday Iran would consider any attack on Syria as an attack on itself.
Yet the local Syrians, like most, are very skeptical this war of words will escalate into anything more:
In battle-torn Damascus, residents doubted Syria would fight back. One mother of five said she had heard retaliation would come later. "They always say that. They'll retaliate, but later, not now. Always later," she said, and laughed.
"The last thing we need now is Israeli fighter jets to add to our daily routine. As if we don't have enough noise and firing keeping us awake at night."
Then again, provoking a Syrian retaliation has been the plan all along. Which is why moments ago, just to keep Plan B afloat, Reuters blasted that:
- WHITE HOUSE SAYS IRAN'S INSTALLATION OF ADVANCED URANIUM ENRICHMENT CENTRIFUGES WOULD BE PROVOCATIVE STEP IN VIOLATION OF U.N. RESOLUTIONS

all I remember from my 'childhood' school yard dayz was that the 'nuns' would, for the MOST TRIVIAL VIOLATION of standards & ethics, make me stand in the corner of the play yard [with my back to the kids playing foursquare & jumping rope]... & hold two BIBLES [at shoulder height & arm's length]... until my ARMS were ready to fall off...
~~~
I guess that TAUGHT me...
I remember that if I punched the bully in da mouff he would usually not fuck with me again.
I didn't learn that until LATER... [I wasn't capable of punching until after my shoulders had recovered from the 'lactic acid' pain of holding Bibles in the air]...
Its not how many fights you win that count it is how many you show up for that define your status.
I'm pretty much at ALL OF THEM (as the case may be)...
~~~
EXCEPT when it comes to 'chicks'... THOSE are fights where there's NO HOPE of ever winning...
Long DubyaDubya3
Yup.
OMFG, is there another Bush ascending to power?!?
Oh! You're just talking WWIII.....*whew* You had me worried there for a moment!
;)
Nothing used to piss me off more than people (teachers/elders/authority figures) like Ban Ki-Moon who let one kid slap you over and over all the while telling you to remain calm and not retaliate or you'll be in trouble. Then the father (US) comes and picks the bully up and you see them high-fiving as they drive off. Double-fucking-standards and hypocrisy.
Thats when you throw tacks in their lawn, and they end up calling you a terrorist
the usa may drone you, the usa may bomb you, because you may be an evil terrorist.
I can't wait for that morning when America wakes up, puts on the news/twitter and sees: oh wow, Syria/Israel have bombed each other.
That's gonna be fun :(
You are assuming too much about the attention span and intellect of Americans. They will say "Syria? Isn't that near Venezuela?"
Yeah, that will be pretty screwy tomorrow morning.....
So that your Israeli flag and Jewish star bumper sticker manufacturing company's sales will finally take off?
Kissenger promised me Israel could sucker punch Syria and no one would do anything. Damn you, Kissenger! Can't you please find us a tiny country that won't hit back?
Henry Kissinger himself was quoted to say Israel won't be here next decade ...
Dovetailing with the view of radical Israel journalist Barry Chamish, that the Israeli state is a tool to be used to commit horrible international crimes, to totally disgrace the name and tradition of Judaism, and then the Israeli state will be thrown away like rubbish:
« Reported to me, Henry Kissinger has stated — and I quote the statement word for word: "In 10 years, there will be no more Israel."
I repeat: "In 10 years, there will be no more Israel." ... »
« Sixteen US intelligence agencies with a combined budget over USD70 billion have issued an 82-page analysis titled 'Preparing for a Post-Israel Middle East.' ...
Interestingly, neither Henry Kissinger nor the authors of the US Intelligence Report give any sign that they are going to mourn the demise of Israel. This is remarkable, given that Kissinger is Jewish ... »

The only thing I expect with any certainty is that 10 years from now there won't be any Kissenger. Every time he visits the whitehouse I have to air out the place. Talk about old white guy smell...
Or it could be, ya know, how the retired mass-murdering war criminal gets his kicks these days.
The United States is a tool to be used to commit horrible international crimes, to totally disgrace the name and tradition of The United States, and then the United States will be thrown away like rubbish:
There I've fixed it for ya
WASHINGTON WAKE UP MORON.
WHY is it you Libertarian.s are such fools about war?
Havent you read any history?
this reminds me of 2005 when it was so obvious the house of financial cards was waiting for a gust from the wings of a butterfly to knock the structure down but no one that mattered had any idea how close the moment was.
this is the end of empire. it is so obvious i am sure the clues were in my 6th grade world history class but no one that matters has a clue the usa is marching into the valley of death.
god bless the usa. it was a good run.
Might be true if the rest of the world wasn't going to hell as well. Most likely scenario huge ass wars. The US isn't going to roll over we'll blow your ass up. Just watch and see. We're all dead lol.
Unless all this gets a response from Russia in actual physical strength and not just words..........the biggest surprise will be Syria and Iran getting wiped off the map in short order.
iran gets taken out-oil through the roof-USA dissolves-AIPAC/Israel out of power-BRING IT
I've never been involved in battlefield combat, but if you think you want an escalation into massive global military conflagration, then I think you don't know what you are asking for either.
It's just like Call of Duty, right? I LOVE THAT GAME.
You should join the US Drone Corps. You can shoot and kill brown people who can't shoot back at you. They might take out your drone now and then but then you can just restart with another drone and shoot up their wedding parties for revenge. Insert credit (kindly provided by the US taxpayer and Uncle Ben).
http://www.ebay.com/itm/RQ-1-Predator-Die-cast-Model-UAV-Drone-Spy-Attac...
Shooting brown people, did you say?
(Ulp!)
Call it a premonition. These drones are so effective that one day they will be used for a worthy purpose. They'll be turned on the 6000 or so banksters that have f#*ked this planet with their insatiable greed.
the usa has conveniently given russia and china afghanistan as the place for a response. expect a big one any day now.
Israel vs. Syria, Iran, Russia, China... Israel however corrupt and discussing is not stupid. They may be planning another USS liberty or 911 to bring the U.S. sheeple into the game. WWIII would be an excellent smoke screen as the 100 year old global ponzi implodes.
Some close by governments are desperately looking just for that...
<------ More than 30 days to WW3
<------ Less than 30 days to WW3
WWIII is underway already.
It just doesn't look like it yet because most of "the other side" isn't engaging on the battlefields, yet.
Currency destruction isn't sufficiently well underway.
Do you think WWIII will look like WWII? Do you think the actual battlefield for WWIII will be real estate acreage like it was in WWII? I think the evidence suggests all sides have been engaged on the battlefield for some time. This time, the battlefield is not visible to most people.
Why can't I access my bank account? The web is REALLY slow today.....
We are in partial agreement there Richard. As I said, the WW is underway.
However, there certainly will be cataclysmic battlefield engagements in places many would not expect, not just "over there" someplace where those brown people with towels on their heads cause trouble so our heroic troops can go over and make peace for them by blowing stuff up and rebuilding it while we at home eat the last Twinkie and salute the flag.
as long as it is after sunday. i ahven't watched the super bowl in three years.
My girlfriend aked my why they haven't started WWIII yet. I told her that the supply chain contracts were still being worked out and once the contracts were signed it would begin. She started crying unconsolably...
Given that Syria never signed a peace with Israel, an "act of war" is an oxymoron. A "cease fire violation" is about the most you could say, if that.
Any Syrian retaliation would get an immediate response from Israel. The Israeli government uses their vast, US funded, military superiority to inforce a leverage of terror. Israel can stike anyone anywhere and at anytime. Any such actions by others is terrorist threats to Israel. Lets face it, the side with ALL the military power and the full backing of the 1 trillion dollar a year US military machine can attack any minor state in the Middle East at will.
Syria can hardly hold off the US backed Al-Qaeda and the NATO backed FSA, adding Israel to the list would hardly be a smart move by Assad. He is in a no win position and Israel knows it.
The Syrian research facility was claimed as a mortar target by the FSA. Most media says a Hexbolla arms convoy got the air stirke. This may or may not be true, but for now it makes the most sense.
so empires built on death and destruction last forever?i guess the romans and english missed the memo
Mighty empires build mighty armies, Over time these armies become a heavier and heavier financial drag on the economy so eventually the empire either defaults or debases the currency to its destruction in an attempt to keep paying their bills. When they can't afford them anymore their armies crumble and someone else takes over. Happened lots of times in history, but people nowadays don't know their history so they have to learn it the hard way.
Bingo Tango. And don't blight my tomatoes this year.
And what if it is Syria, Iran, Russia, China vs USA, Israel and some other pussy western nations like Faggy France?
I'd say that would be a fairly even fight.....that would prove VERY destructive. I think the concept of MAD is well known by all, but a lengthy ground conflagration would be devastating to a world on ther brink.
I disagree, it would be opposite of devastating. It cause manufacturing to soar to meet the need of the mighty MIC War Machine and many people would die leading to a population reduction. It would be horrible from a humanitarian POV, but economically it would work out well. Mayhaps that is what THEY are after.
Oil's down 1/2 a buck, so apparently the war financiers are saying "no, not yet".
It's coming, but not yet.
nothing new about Israel extending its middle finger to the UN Charter, or UN Resolutions, or international law.
And when they dropped white phosphorus on the Pals, it wasn't a war crime - because it's not a crime when Israel does it.
Comments section in the NYT on the Hagel confirmation spectacle is both heartening and troubling.
How is it that this country sacrificed hundreds of thousands of young men in WWII and US and Israeli Jews still think we owe them our blood and treasure so that they can wrest the old Mandate from people who've lived there for hundreds, even thousands of years?
The unbridled arrogance of this assumption... it's uniquely Jewish, I think. Perpetually 'apart' and 'special' and 'unique' - spare me the antisemite shit, I did study the OT and the text is absolutely rife with racism and criminality... it would get a pass, but for the fact that these myths are the core, not some fringe aspect of the text.
And no, Virginia, they aren't the direct decendents of the ancient Hebrews - who stole it from the Phoenicians, anyway, and ruled over a small portion of it for no more than a few hundred years.
http://www.jesusneverexisted.com/chosen-people.html
I don't want to see Israel destroyed and wish them the best - but every American Jew who spends their time trying to get the US to risk its blood and treasure for their ethnarchy can go right ahead and fuck themselves.
Wilcat - since you've studied the OT / Jewish Bible, you must understand that the God described there loves some and hates others. If that God actually exists, we don't get to tell him how he should live his life, and what his emotions should be in order to be "fair". He will do as he damn well pleases - and we, along with Job, will have no choice but to accept it. Either that, or commit suicide. But if the God of the OT / Jewish Bible is real, suicide won't be any escape either.
On the other hand, if the God of the OT / Jewish Bible is not real, why doesn't Iran just drive the Zionists into the sea and be done with it. I'm certain that the "Palestinian's" in Gaza and the West Bank can make better use of the land than the Zionists have.
Finally, what difference does it make if the folks there are the "right" Jews or not. They could all be Norwegian, for all it matters. The issue is whether one group should be allowed to take real estate away from another group. The Muslims think that is a fine way to live, because they have done it to each other forever. If you are not familiar with the Hamas Covenant, you would do well to read it. Pay particular attention to Article 11:
When the leaders of the Islamic armies conquered Syria and Iraq, ... The Islamic Resistance Movement believes that the land of Palestine is an Islamic Waqf consecrated for future Moslem generations until Judgement Day. ... This is the law governing the land of Palestine in the Islamic Sharia (law) and the same goes for any land the Moslems have conquered by force, because during the times of (Islamic) conquests, the Moslems consecrated these lands ...
http://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hamas.asp
From now on, I expect to see this quote spread all over ZH in posts that deal with the Middle East. This quote supports the only idea that counts: Anybody sufficiently powerful has the right to "conquer" any land in the Middle East. Might makes right. We know this is the correct position to take, because it is enshrined in Point 11 of the Hamas Charter. Hamas believes this, and by extension, so do all who support them. If they truely did not believe that might makes right, they would not support Hamas - who, in their own Charter, admit that they rule over lands taken from other people. And then they fight the Zionists, because the Zionists are wrong to have done what Hamas admits to doing in its own Charter.
Idiots.
I think that the point you are missing in Article 11 (and I don't agree with it, just pointing this out) is that the lands now belong to 'Moslems' because the 'consecrated' it (whatever that entails).
I get your point. What I was pointing out is how they acquired those lands. Which is/was, in the same manner that they criticize the Zionists for aquiring the land of Israel. By force. If it's OK for them to do that, they cannot legitimately criticize others for doing the same thing to them. So, all we are left with is might makes right. Unless we agree to adhere to some more civilized way of behaving. Good luck with that.
That 'Jesus never existed' site you link, is very interesting and provocative, whatever one's views
Even for those of us who are religious and spiritually inclined, it is a rich historical discussion there
A lot of good material, like how the compassionate remarks attributed to Jesus also echo the writings of the Roman stoic philosopher Seneca who was forced to commit suicide under Emperor Nero, with the Gospels written at a later date
But the site author, Kenneth Humphreys, for all his detail and data, neglects how for Protestants it is 'faith alone' which does not need historical 'proof'
He over-does the 'never existed' part, but himself admits that 'Jesus' was a common name in ancient Roman Palestine
And ultimately, the vision of life he has as a non-believer, science & etc., feels rather cold and empty
But a great site on religious history overall, even for us 'backward believers'
"I don't want to see Israel destroyed and wish them the best"
Speak for yourself. Live by the sword, die by the sword.
I do believe I answered this question the other day and I do believe there are many more like me.
When these corrupt and insidious institutions of all governments, and especially here who are nearly all peodophiles give me a battle rifle, they will get a fucking fright. Because the people of Syria, Iran, Iraq etc etc, have never done me no harm but my government has done multiples times twice, it is they that need silenced.
Go on Cameron, give me a battle rifle, because you and the fucking thieving parasitical child abusers in parliament will wish you hadnt.
Take up arms against fellow humans? And leave you lot of war mongering Isreali first scum alone? No chance son, bring the cunt on, because you will be the first. And I know boyo, there are a lot more like me than like you fucker.
I would be proud to have my son enlist to fight against in criminals in DC, the Middle East not so much
So what happens if Russia and China sends troops into Syria?
To keep peace, of course.
I'm replying to my own post to share my thoughts. After WW2, we were the hero of the free world, we could do no wrong. We used foreign aid along with the promise of protection and promises of prosperity to any nation who would allow us to establish our foothold. We supported dictators who could enslave their own people to deliver spoils to US, the great protector nation. We supported any faction who would battle the nations of the so called not free world, even though those same factions would later become our enemy.
Now in between all of this, we capitalized on all the resources each nation could provide till they smartened up. Now what? OK, spread democracy and the US will support the resistance. Then they will love US again and we can resume our spoil taking. Listening Saudies? Things aren't working out though cause our two main not free world buddies aren't about to let that happen, along with the deeply ingrained hatred the people ensalved by our puppet dictators have against US.
Now, the people enslaved that hate US? No problem, we say they are terrorist and WTF, we have a war on terrorism so we can just kill them all.
However, our two not free world buddies /sarc, we want no poblem with cause they're not going to take any shit from US. Not saying we can't beat them, but even if we win, we lose.
I could go on and on about our corporate infiltration to try to US the world, which BTW took most of our jobs away yada, yada, yada.
How did Israel become the US Crown Prince? They were smarter than US. They infiltrated every powerful entity in the US. It took a long time but they made it.
Why bother with troops, a few micro-bugs are more efficient!

I'm so sick of reading about these these non-events in the Middle East where nothing really happens when you know it will end badly eventiually.
Just like i'm sick of all the central bank interventions which solve nothing and just postpone the collapse.
Bingo. Wish I had a dollar for every empty threat issued over the past 10 years. I'd be able to pay off the US debt.
Do we have enough Nobel Peace prizes to hand out here?
I pretty much think you don't telegraph a surprise if you're serious

OK, so satanic psychopathic zionists murder some people and attack an innocent sovereign country. What else is new? It is not as if we expect anything else from the satainc psychopaths.
It is very disturbing that the good people in the United States of America have put their trust in murderous psychopaths who protect and defend those trying to bring destruction to the human race and that we have fallen victim to the lies of the satanic psychopathic zionists.
Americans are very dumb people. If it wasn't "the satanic psychopathic zionists" (as you put it) that Americans "fall victim to", it would be some other special interest group. Ben Franklin answered the woman who asked of him: "Mr. Franklin, what sort of government have you given us?" that the founding fathers "gave the Americans a Republic", but then added "if you can keep it". We didn't, so we lose.
"that the founding fathers "gave the Americans a Republic""
And therein lies the problem with the Enlightenment-era statist propaganda known as the "social contract". How did America's government come about? Why it was set up in a series of secret, closed-door meetings involving no more than a few hundred persons in total over some 5 or so years, ratified with absolutely no authority and then foisted on the former-colonists - most of whom were functional illiterates, mind you - whom, for reasons no one likes to talk about, acceded with nary a shot fired. Yadda yadda yadda, 200 years later, their mistake is now our fate.
In case I didn't make it clear, the founding fathers were in every sense of the word usurping statist aristocratic oligarchs who helped cause a legitimate insurrection and then lead a (bloodless) "coup" once the revolution was complete. Does this sound familiar? Well, that's because it is exactly the same pattern followed by virtually all so-called socialist revolutions.
Very good points. I always wondered why the loving founding fathers didn't take surveys from the local populace (who had fought against the British) as to exactly what the colonists wanted from their new government.
Unlike the psychopathic - sociopaths that slaughter their own people bythe 10's of thousands? That destroy anything and anyone that is not part of their culture too? Yeah... whos delusional here?
you mean the usa?

What did the Syrians (and Iran's and Russians) expect. They were transferring SA-17's! These are not little shoulder fired rockets you can pick up at K-mart. It's an 18 foot long missile with an engagement range of over 30 miles and 80,000 feet altitude. It flies north of mach 4 and uses a phased array radar, not some easily jammed relic of the 1960's. In transferring that kind of tech to a terrorist org, they knew they were crossing a bright red line.
That they are giving away this kind of gear speaks volumes to the Syrian regime's assessment of its future.
Don't look for any sympathy here if you're pro-Israel in the slightest.
Not really trying to be pro-Israel. Just pointing out the obvious. There's lots of grey lines in the Middle East, but everybody knows where the bright red lines are, e.g. If Iran nukes up, Saudi Arabia nukes up, if Iraqi kurds create a Kurdish state, Turkey invades, if someone gives Hezbollah advanced tech, Israel shots first and asks questions later.
I suspect the Russians are a little pissed. They gave Syria the SA-17's to defend high value sites after Israel bombed Syria's nuke reactor in 2007, not to pass out like candy.
Let's just choose to ignore the massive elephant in the room shall we. Israel with their 200 ++ nukes pointing not just at arab states but directed at every major city on the planet. Blackmail?? Of course, these psychopaths know no other way!

Please, no MSM or Jerusalem Post?

Yup.

Bibi doing a little gun control 'legislation'.
Nobody is going to do anything except make a lot of noise. It's probably too early to pull up the lawnchair and the popcorn just yet...
Maybe next week? Who knows?
I have few questions to you:
1. where you got the info about SA 17?
2. how you can say where the convoy was heading? if it was convoy.
3. would it be ok if Russia attacked American missiles in Poland or Iran Patriots in Turkey?
4. what terrorist organization you have in mind? And who declared them terrorists?
5. which K-mart sells shoulder fired rockets?
6. arming AQ in Syria does not cross any bright red lines in your mind?
1. It's fairly widely known. Get a subscription to Janes.
2. Why my handy, dandy KH-12 satellite, of course.
3. No, but that's not a logical comparison. You need a more dispationate view. A better comparsion would be, "Would it be ok if Russia attacked a Georgian convoy of Improved Hawk missiles headed for Abkhazia?" There. Fixed it for you. The answer is, "OK. No. Expected. Yes."
4. Hezbollah took credit for killing 241 Americans in a 1983 bombing who were part of a UN peacekeeping mission, so it's not unreasonable to define them as a terrorist organization. If you are a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, Al Quds, Hamas, and/or IRG I can see how you might be offended.
5. The ones in Pakistan.
6. Nope. The Russians would think less of us if we didn't. Actually, they think we are complete pussies for doing so little. Really, though, the Saudi's are probably doing most of the heavy lifting at this point. Remember, Syrian regime is a minority Islamic sect, the majority is Sunni.
Fuck!!!!!!!!
Krugman's wet dream!
"If this information is confirmed, then we are dealing with unprovoked attacks on targets on the territory of a sovereign country, which blatantly violates the UN Charter and is unacceptable, no matter the motives to justify it," the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement."

Don't leave Pakistan and N. Korea out of the party. They have nukes to attack Isreal with too. Then maybe they'll go after the 6,000 banksters. Maybe not.

it has it's intended effect. it is as absurd as his claim. sometimes they need that pointed out in stark terms....especially when i am sick of hearing about it. i laugh, he(you)cringes.
I see. Well if your "intended effect" is loathsome annoyance, you hit it out of the park because your commentary "pointed out" nothing in any terms, stark or otherwise.
If you have any constructive or persuasive intent, then aiming over the top will get you a miss pretty much every time.
I'm as sick as anyone of the perpetual race baiting and "semite" grenades designed to shut down rational discourse. But feeding the animal helps it grow.
Anti-Semite as in the 90% of Jews that are Ashkenazi, and therefore have varying amounts of European/Asiatic/Semitic admixture and have genocided actual Semites in Palestine for the last 60+ years? Or, Anti-Semitic as in any critique of Jewish or Israeli criminal behavior and/or actions makes one an Anti-Semite, which is the usual Jewish approach to shutting down criticism and discussion about either singular or collective(group overrepresentation) Jewish crimes or unethical behavior?
I love semites -Palestinians are semites. There are quite a few here who have little good to say about Bankster/Neocon/Likudnik Khazzarians.
This is the situation in Qatar:
We only have two days of water reserve, we import 90 percent of our food, and we only cultivate less than one percent of our land.”

My company has given several schools in our field in Qatar, and remember they were proud of their ocean desalination plant, and I had good water pressure for showers etc.. Little decorative outdoor vegitation though. I agree on the food being imported though. Most of the middle east would starve without western food imports.
You all joke but no one will be happy when WWIII starts. So many innocent lives lost, so much destruction. Your glee and insolence about life will shift over to dread regarding your future and the future of your families... and mankind.
It will be woe and grief as we once again witness man's inhumanity to man and another bombing of ourselves back to the Stone Age to start all over again. When will we ever learn? (Rhetorical question.)
My biggest frustration with WWIII is that I will lose my internet connection.
keep plenty of cash and lots of board games and cards on hand. tv will likely be taken down,too.
LOL.
TV going out will probably give Freddie his first erection in 20 years.
I reckon that while I am not one my self at the moment, there are probably a particularly high proportion of readers here who might describe themselves as "preppers".

Prepping for what? To be the Omega Man?
I agree - and we wont be able to post here anymore either once the lights go out.
Once it starts, ZH and all my favorite websites will be shut down. Most of my friends will be in Fema camps- but then again, with 300 million guns in America -maybe we'll put the bad guys in Fema camps and we can shut down CBS/ABC/NBC Foxnews Neocon talk radio and the rest of the facist mainstream propagandists.
The Banksters declared WW III agaisnt us on September 15th, 2008...
Lob a missile at Saudi? That'd cause a bit of surprise.
Irans's plan A. It will be literally lights out.

Do they have any other type?
isn't there some way to get the banksters to attack Syria so Iran will retaliate against THEM?
Isn't it rich? Are we a pair? Me here at last on the ground, You in mid-air.. Where are the drones?
Isn't it bliss? Don't you love farce? My fault, I fear. I thought that you'd want what I want... Sorry, my dear!
And where are the drones Send in the drones Don't bother, they're here.
Don't you approve? One who keeps tearing around, One who can't move... Where are the drones?
Send in the drones. Barbra Streisand
You know, I was engoying your satirical lyricism (and even up arrowed you)
until you reminded me whose song that was.
Now I feel sick.
Maybe they baked them a nice cake with a stripper inside!
