TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has built a new attack drone which is similar to a U.S. unmanned aerial vehicle captured five years ago, Iranian media reported on Saturday.
The semi-official Tasnim news agency says the “Saegheh” (Thunderbolt) drone is similar to the RQ-170 Sentinel spy drone. Iran’s state-run Press TV says the long-range drone can carry four precision-guided bombs. Neither report gave figures for the drone’s range.

Iran claimed to have shot down an RQ-170 drone used by the Central Intelligence Agency in December 2011 and broadcast footage of the recovered aircraft. It also claims to have captured three American ScanEagle drones.

Trump took on the republican establishment and Hillary and beat both of them, when beating just one would have been noteworthy.

No hoax there.

This isn't a prediction, but his hard a** approach to NK could lead to a resolution of the problem. Something Obama or Bush couldn't do. And if it happens without bombs and bullets, Trump would be deserving of a Nobel Peace Prize.

Heads would explode lol.

Sure that could happen, & can you think of some other outcomes THAT COULD happen??:whoa:

You have two rookies in a bluffing & pissing contest... Is that fact that neither of them have much/any experience mean anything here??

It's worth remember that when you put on a Cheerleader's skirt and picked up some pom-poms to cheerlead for Bush's Iraq War Disaster, you and Bush taught tip pot dictators of the world an important and enduring lesson.

The only way sure fire way you can keep a belligerent United States president from invading, is to have nukes. Not just WMD, but real, live nukes.

And you conveniently ommited the fact Obama learned nothing from that lesson.
 
Do you want to know why China is so loath to take truly meaningful action? It's pretty simple really, yes they are worried about millions of refugees on their doorstep. However they are truly paranoid about the two Koreas reuniting, why you may ask? Simply because they don't want the US military on their doorstep, yes it all makes sense now!

McMasters, Kelly, Mattis and Tillerson.

Quite the team for an unhinged president to pick lol. I don't know when we had a more solid team.

Along a similar vein, Trump listens to his military people [its an unhinged thing I guess lol] so he wouldn't move unless they think it can be done.

You think they agreed with after dinner bombing of Syria, over cake?

Duck and cover was psychological palliative care. It was not a real strategy to limit injury and death. I lived 15 miles from the pentagon for 18 years of my live. We had those air raid drills.
To the point, the fact that the government was less transparent then and lied more doesn't mean the existential threat today is less real. More Sailor fail

We had 'air raid drills' in NYC public schools in the '60s. Even as a child, I had absolutely no clue as to how hiding under my desk was going to help?

Trump scored that coup? What a delusional piece of crap. NK and NK alone scored those sanctions.

NK never had the technology to reach the mainland with a missile before trump became POTUS. Just as trump was able to make the level U.S nukes “far stronger and more powerful than ever before”,

Kim has advanced his nuke capability 'bigly' because of this POTUS.

China will inevitably want something in return for becoming far more proactive towards NK. This will take the form of bribes to incentivise China to do something about North Korea.

This could involve concessions about limits to American military support for independent Taiwan agreeing, at least in part, to Chinese expansionism in the South China Sea and offering guarantees about the future demilitarisation of a unified Korea that will pacify Beijing. Can't see the US agreeing about Taiwan but demilitarisation is more likely as is some kind of deal over the South China Sea.

yea we all remember that well, Iran shoots down one of our very sophisticated Top Secret Drones, Iranian news shows a bunch of Iranian soldiers and scientists standing around it. And Obama does nothing to stop them, go get our technology back.
And now of course Iran is flying their own version, and you can bet some of the same technology is on board.
Shame on Obama

So they have no indigenous program, only what they can steal and reverse engineer?

Oh ye of little faith, the EU countries are fucked without the City of London providing the financial muscle for many and varied projects. We also have a deficit of over $60 billion with the EU and are the second largest export market for German cars. Toyota has already announced a £240 million upgrade to their plant in Derbyshire. This could easily be used to build Lexus here if BMWs and Mercs become more expensive.

In addition, the French would be screwed if we started drinking far more Australian and New Zealand wines because of zero tariffs and started importing lamb, cheese and dairy products again. We could also get our beef from the Argentine like we used to as well.

You sound like somebody that's been institutionalised for many years and are terrified to go outside. Embrace freedom, you have nothing to lose but your chains.

All i said was that it was probably a good idea to have a plan. Any plan.

As our government doesn't.

Now there may be a post-EU utopia waiting round the corner, but the fact our representatives negotiating our future position have consistently failed to reach even a scintilla of agreement about what they want does not fill me with hope.

I read Paris and Frankfurt are both stepping up to fill the banking center for the EU, lots of banks are preparing to move, sounds like they will be fine without London. Japanese banks have already made move.

It is subject to negotiation, but we will be leaving both the Customs Union and the Single Market. There will be zero tariffs, or as near as damn it, access to the EU and we will probably have to pay something into their slush fund. I can very easily see the UK forming a new trading block with countries like Norway, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the US. Poland, Hungary and Austria might also leave the EU as well and join up.
