re: Surprised to see Iran is showing plenty of missile capability?

Define "attack". It appears to me that you are wrong. They have purposefully supported their terrorist proxy groups like the Houthis, Hezbollah and others. They have attempted assininations and funneled money to groups in this country who want to thwart anything that might prevent their ultimate goal. They killed upwards of 30,000 of their own people, many of which had relatives in this country.
Someone had to do something. The only thing required for evil to prosper is for good people to sit idly by and do nothing.

The last time I checked genius, the US was not making statements about total irradication of a neighboring country based simply on their religious beliefs. We also we not subverting terrorist groups and cells around the world in attempts to assassinate leaders and terrorize civilians. People like you are delusional.

This in an of itself, might be the dumbest thing I ever read on the internet, and that is saying alot. Did you actually believe that comment when you made it? For the love of all that is good and holy, I pray you were just being sarcastic/

re: Iran lists targets they will strike if their power grid is hit
Posted by DocYatesVA on 3/23/26 at 5:52 am to Burt Reynolds
What makes you think "he did not think about it"? This is exactly the kind of crap they would have pulled if they got nuclear bombs and they already had a ballistic missile program. If these idiots will strike at the hearts of their neighbors for no apparent reason other than to inflict pain upon them, what makes anyone think they would not use an advanced military weapon against those they hate, such as the US and Israel. Trump, Netanayu and the other competent world leaders knew exactly what these thugs would do, and they acted, mainly out of desperation. I know it is a logistical nightmare, but I am not sure how they have managed to elude complete devastation on their ability to strike out with ballistic missiles to this point.

"The USA doesn't need the strait either.....China and rest of the area does!"
While I agree to a certain extent, since we produce enough for our own needs, the fact that the increasing needs of the remainder of the world, in this economy, drives the oil prices much higher for our domestic product. This is reflected in our own high gas prices. Since our gas / oil industry is not nationalized the world market pricing will always be reflected at our own pumps, and unfortunately that cost will be passed on to US consumers in the form of higher prices on goods and groceries.

You evidently are not familiar with the statement that it is not really paranoia IF they are actually out to get you, huh? Keep sticking your head in the sand and they will still shoot you in the arse.

re: CIA Kept Soviet Cancer Research Classified for 64 Years
Posted by DocYatesVA on 3/11/26 at 6:31 am to AlterEd
Ed, I am sorry for our loss and for that horrendous experience. No one should have to go thru that, unfortunately I hear a story like that far too frequently. Cancer is a thief that steals our livelihood and our loved ones. Your wife was lucky that she had someone to help care for her in those final days. God bless you and I hope He can give you some peace after suffering thru that horrible event. As someone who works in the medical field, I do not believe that any physician would withhold a cure from a patient based entirely upon the ability to make money. If they do, then they are seriously scum of the Earth. Most oncologists follow treatment plans set up to investigate drugs and drug combination, sometimes with other combined therapies to help create a database that can be used to investigate effective treatment modalities. Some are more successful than others, but when they find something that works, they tend to use it.

The research costs are crazy expensive as well. My guess is that if Ivermectin was solidified as a true anti-neoplastic drug, the costs for it would skyrocket, simply based on the money they would funnel to research and sequester in the coffers to fight and pay out claims. All it takes is for one bad outcome to cost millions of dollars in a liability case, and most of time there is no insurance to cover that type of litigation. Lawyers that work for drug companies are not paid in chicken feed, that's for sure.

I had not heard this, but am not surprised. Over 30 years ago I was at a medical meeting where Levamisol(sp) was introduced in a study showing its effectiveness against colon cancer. It is even still used today in the treatment, if I am not mistaken, in conjunction with other meds. These "rumors" about anti-parasitic meds being effective on cancer go back decades. It is not something new.
Levamasol(sp) is also an anti-fluke medication used in the treatment of parasitemia in sheep. A doctor, who was also a farmer, stood up in the room and asked why the drug when used in his patient population costs almost $6000 (at the time) and the same medication when used to treat his sheep costs about $4. The rep from the company said "Because we have never been sued by a sheep."
Didn't make much sense to me, but after thirty years in this profession what I see is hoops from the FDA for researchers to jump thru and licensing agreements that are strenuous and obtrusive due to fear of litigation. All of these medications have some side effects, but class action lawsuits and historical data shows that these companies are trying to recoup their losses on the front end knowing that there will be litigation going forward. In reality, the company has to make some money, albeit I do not agree with the excessive amounts, or there would be no reason to further the research and produce the medication.

re: Iran has a much stronger military than Ukraine.
Posted by DocYatesVA on 3/5/26 at 5:46 am to SlowFlowPro
The Iraq-Iran conflict lasted from 1980 to 1988 and was really considered a draw. Iraq did not exert military dominance over Iran in any capacity. What you are talking about is the two conflicts with the US, in which George Bush (I) did not finish the job he stared and allowed Saddam to remain in power. The cuckhold NATO group and our weak administration caused the second war when they did not finish the first. It had nothing to do with nation building. If Iraq had be razed to rubble the first go around alot of the issues could have been solved and lives saved.

"Keep in mind that they put up virtually no resistance to Saddam Hussein"
You do realize that the war with Iraq was a draw that lasted almost 9 years, right? It was by no means a lopsided affair.

I don't hate that evil woman because of who she is, I hate her for the way she treated all of those around her while her husband was in power. She treated the military like absolute dogs. She lied continuously in an effort to make herself look better, and arranged for her spoiled brat of a daughter to basically inherit a million dollar fraudulent enterprise so that she never had to work a day in her life. She is the embodiment of evil and entitlement,
