Iran Placing Medium-Range Missiles in Venezuela; Can Reach the U.S.

[Mjolnir]

Nukes and weapons of any kind don't scare me in the "right" hands, but in the hands of bad people, different story. There is a difference between US nukes in Turkey and Iranian missles in South America/Cuba.

WE are the ones waging war around the world; us, Great Britain, NATO and Israel... And, NO!, I'm not proud to admit it that The West has failed in it's mission of being a beacon of light unto the world.

"Chavez's choice of Iran is no fluke although it seemed like one to some when the alliance first arose around 2004. Iran's footprint in Latin America has grown gradually. Beginning in the 1980s, Iran started using Latin America as a forward base of operations against the US and the West. It deployed Hizbullah and Revolutionary Guards operatives and other intelligence and terror assets along the largely ungoverned tri-border area between Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil. That staging ground in turn enabled Iran to bomb Israeli and Jewish targets in Buenos Aires in the early 1990s."
