With the White House latest statement of "Putting Iran on notice". I can only imagine things will only go south from here.
I'm assuming the statement is just tough talk with no action but time will only tell. Iran is entitled and deserves every right to test weapons.
Trump is now a week in and US is even more divided than before, a good conflict abroad would do WONDERS to get public focus off dpesticides issues and onto a potential full scale war that will undoubtedly captivate the masses.
I don't know gentlemen. Trump by all means is a loose cannon with no concept of humility or rationality.
As they say "Keep your britches about you"
You give them a hand and now they wanna take your arm off!!!!!!!! & now they want us to be thankful for poring concrete into our Heavy Water reactor core!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The ONLY logical response to this from Iran is to increase defense spending to over $40 Billion USD to ONLY go towards domestic production & domestic R&D and in a year from now Iran should put on a show of its new products in a mouth dropping military maneuver!
If it was me I would give
$5 Billion for Armed Robots, UAV's & UCAV production should be in the 100's a year per each class up graded to be hack proof as much as possible
$5 Billion for Missile production mostly focused on increasing Fatteh-110, Fateh-313 & Zolfaghar should be increased to over 10 folds for each class
$5 Billion for ground equipment Tank, Artillery, APC, IFV & infantry weapons & equipment
$5 Billion for Naval equipment Sub production, FAC & Missile boat and anti ship missile production needs to be produced at a much faster pace
$5 Billion to the Air Force to start a real fighter project or buy if possible
$5 Billion for Air Defense
$2 Billion for Havanirouz & Helo mass Production
$8 Billion for paychecks + benefits
Trump is the type of idiot that went and sued someone 3 times and lost 3 times just because they wrote an article about how he is not as rich and as good a business man as he claims to be! & sued someone for saying his hands are too small!
This is a delusional, selfish & vindictive man child that throws a hissy fit & overplays his had over and over again
So if some none military projects need to go on hold for the next 4 years then so be it! It's time Iran truly focuses on it's defense industry & Iran has more than enough highly educed workforce to do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
