The comic put forward the idea that the Advanced Idea Mechanics organization (AIM) was a criminal group made up of scientist whose goal was to dominate the world and rebuild it according to their desires.
Moving past fantasy and fast forwarding to today the question has to be asked.
What happens when a terrorist group acquires nation state weapons and is able to conduct unrestricted warfare on the high seas?
Check this out from the Jerusalem Post.
The Israel Navy assumes that Hezbollah has gotten hold of advanced Russian- made Yakhont antiship missiles, a senior navy source said on Tuesday.Hezbollah has the Yakhont. Otherwise known as the P-800. Consider it the daddy of the Russian/Indian Brahmos anti-ship missile.
The source added that the Lebanese terrorist organization is making constant efforts to get hold of advanced weapons.
Any ship operating in the Mediterranean sea, Red sea, or Persian Gulf or even Indian ocean could be a potential target of well laid ambush.
Thats civilian and military shipping.
Want to shock the oil markets? Hezbollah sinks a couple of oil tankers.
Want to send a message to the great or lesser satans? A US Amphib or the British Queen Elizabeth carrier would make juicy targets.
Shit just got beyond real. If the Israelis are right then Hezbollah is a bigger threat than most small nation states.
