Is this part of the logic of such move?Nader Uskowihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02808543185109048956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169130203475264933.post-62434870284187143532011-04-13T20:14:48.718-04:002011-04-13T20:14:48.718-04:00Anon, your historical analogy involves Russia and ...Anon, your historical analogy involves Russia and Germany in 1914.<br /><br />There are two analogies from WWII that cam be put forward:<br /><br />One is the unsuccessful defense of Poland in 1939, where the Polish army was spread out at border points, instead of more adaptable or consolidated positions.<br /><br />The other is the large scale fortified line the Russians built on their western border, which subsequently attempts were made to move the line farther west for the new border which included eastern Polish and more southern territories acquired during and after 1939.<br /><br />I have to caution you that Iranian defense reporting can be notoriously inaccurate, even in terms of reliable translations. <br /><br />If these new bases and deployments come to fruition, we might find them in the future in updated Google Earth imagery. We might even find the construction process.Mark Pyruzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00595161519097596575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169130203475264933.post-20584429905273465522011-04-13T13:41:24.072-04:002011-04-13T13:41:24.072-04:00In the weeks prior to WW I this type of activity w...In the weeks prior to WW I this type of activity was known as a part of a "mobilization". It becomes part of the chain reaction of events leading to real hostilities. The momentum becomes unstoppable. <br />I am sure we will soon hear that the Saudis are doing the same.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
