Iran shows video of captured U.S. drone
Posted by Xeno on December 8, 2011
Iran’s state TV has broadcast video of the purported stealth U.S. drone that Tehran says its forces downed earlier this week.
The more than two minutes of footage shows Iranian officials inspecting what state TV identifies as the high-tech RQ-170 Sentinel drone, which appeared to be intact.
The chief of aerospace division of Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guards, Gen. Ami Ali Hajizadeh, says an electronic ambush by Iranian forces brought down the drone.
He said Thursday the aircraft was controlled by two stations in Afghanistan and the United States via satellite.
Iranian state radio has said the unmanned aircraft was detected over the eastern town of Kashmar, some 140 miles from the border with Afghanistan.
U.S. officials have acknowledged losing the drone.

If they brought it down with cyber warfare as claimed, doesn’t that mean they can control it to attack other countries now?

That thing is huge and spooky-looking.

Like a Cylon. What if it is part biological? Perhaps it has a pattern recognition brain made from human brain cells grown in a vat, and skin that can feel. Creepy.

Maybe it’s a trojan drone and some soldiers will pop out of it–or something that would really scare the population–like naked women.

Actually, the *only* country that has been known to attack other countries with drones is the good ol’ USA.

So, now Iran brought down a US military drone,
As this occurred,
Russia’s Putin complains about the US State Dept (aka Hillary Clinton) inciting protests over the recent elections (something the US has a history of doing in different countries throughtout the world, e.g. from Venezuela to Palestine to Ukraine)
and China is building up its military because of the recent installation of a US military base in northern Australia (one of nearly 1000 US bases throughout the world).
Can we predict what the future will be like?

As for US military allies (i.e. NATO)?
“Okay, so after the fall of the Soviet Union the enemy went from Russia to the Serbs, and later, after 9/11, the enemy became Al Qaeda, aka terrorists, and went on to include ‘select’ dictators designated as ‘certain dictatorships.’ It went from defense to ethnic conflicts, from terrorism to reinterpreted and reinvented human rights causes. …
In May 2008, Gorbachev repeated his view that … ‘the Americans promised that NATO wouldn’t move beyond the boundaries of Germany after the Cold War’.
That promise lasted for a few years, and then without designating Russia as the enemy extraordinaire, NATO expanded and added: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovenia, Slovakia, Bulgaria, and Romania. And a few years after Romania, NATO agreed to the accession of Croatia and Albania and invited them to join, and invited Ukraine and Georgia to become members. No one mentioned any specific threat or enemy. No one ‘really’ asked. …
Lately NATO has been busy going after resource-rich nations in Central Asia and the Caucasus for its new round of membership acquisition: … Azerbaijan by offering a 10 million dollar military support for the improvement of the Azeri military marine performances …

I think war or any kind military engagement is very very rarely a good thing. I think if there is evil in the world, I mean really evil, military engagements and war is it. I don’t think we need to read religious scriptures to know where to find evil.
