Well, no,.....not exactly......as the old Hertz car rental advertisement used to say.
BUT....Iran has made an agreement with Hugo to place an Iranian missile base in Venezuela. The Iranian Shahab 3 (range 1300-1500 km), Scud-B (285-330 km) and Scud-C (300, 500 and 700 km) will be deployed in the proposed base according to one German news service.
Now, look at a map and just how far is it from Venezuela to Texas? Its approximately 4,000 Km. From NY, 3,500Km. From Miami, 2,100km. According to the above intended missile list, the longest range missile, the Shahab 3, has a range of only 1500 km thats just a bit less than the distance to Miami FL.. We are in the clear, right? Well, ....not exactly...... The argument for this base is that Iran needs to defend itself from Israel.....about 10,000 Km away. How will they defend themselves from Israel with missiles that cant even reach the US?
I guess they will have to put in some longer range missiles, right? If they put in a missile with the range to reach to Israel, that missile will have the range to reach ANY PLACE IN THE USA.
Even if they don't put in longer range missiles, just how hard do you think it would be to "soup up" the 1500Km missile to get another 600 km out of it. Then they only have to threaten to nuke Miami to get concessions.
But they don't have nuclear warheads, right?..... well, not exactly.....They have the ability to get them from several sources that are on their side politically. AND the current intelligence suggests that they will have their own nuclear warheads within two years.
But thats still OK because Obama, is a Democrat, like Kennedy, right? So He will stop the deployment of these missiles to Venezuela just like Kennedy did to Cuba. right? A blockade. right?
Personally I would not want to be living in Miami, as nice a place as it is, until someone besides Obama is in the Whitehouse.
