U.S. Intel Suspects China Is Secretly Routing Weapons to Iran
By M Dowling -April 12, 20260 Comments

U.S. intelligence officials believe China may be attempting to route weapons shipments to Iran through third countries to conceal their origin. CNN reports that the delivery systems may include shoulder-fired anti-air missiles, known as MANPADS, which pose a serious threat to low-flying aircraft.
 
China and Russia benefit from prolonging the war, especially given the limited domestic support and lack of NATO backing. Midterms are approaching, and they want Donald Trump enfeebled.


MANPADS are portable, shoulder-launched surface-to-air missiles designed to target low-flying aircraft and helicopters. They are heat-seeking and extremely accurate. It would be very easy to ship these and would threaten U.S. air superiority over Iran. There is also the possibility that Iran makes them.

I lived in that era, but don't remember that.  Think you are only half right on that statement after AI-ing, and this is more what I remember.....

The Apollo missions were primarily focused on crewed lunar landings and exploration, not on colonization of the Moon. While there were discussions about future applications of Apollo technology, the goal was not to establish permanent settlements.

Yeah I lived threw that and the cancellation of Project Orion in '64 - there was a whole lot more to Apollo than was om CBSNBCABC nightly news.

You would have to look at NASA archives - its all in there some where; AI will not suffice, sorry. You have to actually look, time consuming as it may be.

Yeah.

You wouldn't believe how many antiquated laws are still on the books from the Prohibition era and before (like in this case) that are now totally unconstitutional but yet remain because they generate state revenue, and the State Legislatures are too busy playing politics to do their jobs and repeal them.
