Check this out! This is bad news for the Empire. Such computers can, of course, be used for weather research and forecasting, but more to the point, they are, among many other uses, exactly the kind of capability ones needs for air defense integration and (wink, wink) nuclear research (including, possible, explosions simulations).
This also goes to show that, just had been the case with South African, the US embargo no Iran just made the country more self-sufficient (according to official Iranian reports they just produced their SECOND jet fighter)
If this news is correct, I just can hear the sound of hair been torn out of their heads in various quarters in the USA and Israel
Won’t the Imperial Bureaucrats and Rupert’s Puppets just use this as further evidence that Iran has to be bombed now before they build some kind of supercomputer that gains consciousness and starts producing nuclear bombs dropped by anti-semitic android pilots???
“Iran will have the capability to build the next Robo-Islamo-Fascist Caliphate within 10 years. That is why we have to attack now! They must not posses up-to-date computer technology!”
I think this means that we have to bomb Sweden, too? Or is it Finland? Hell, let’s just bomb all the Scandinavians for inventing Linux, which is now in the hands of terrists.
What’s Iran ever done itself other than get bombed chemically by Saddam Hussain, support the Palestinian governemnt of their own choosing, support the Lebanese when attacked by Israel, criticise US foreign policy like everyone else, and continue to act as a viable alternative to Al Qaeda and the Saudi Wahhabis in the Middle-East.
Iran just doesn’t deserve the grief. Leave them alone.
