When will we get weapons of peace....

Wow...its finally here. The US is has in just the last few weeks released some incredible weaponry right down to the new sniper rifle that can shoot over half a mile and its bullet explodes with the force of a grenade and can be programmed to detonate at a specified range.
Now the rail gun. This bad-boy has 33 megajoules of energy. As the article states, one megajoule is the equivalent of a 2,000 pound car slamming into something at 100MPH. Now multiply that force by 33.
Combine this with the "Rods from God" using the XB-37 and the weapons platforms are changing quickly.
AND this is just the stuff that is made public.

Not being a braggart, nor a Howard Roark, I said I knew this was already here back in the 70's.
Damn, you guys sometimes don't see the forest for the trees. Wait till you find out what the A/C can really do to the enemies. Not to laugh about people dying, but you guys got no frigging clue what is coming if you make posts such as this. And all of this advance tech comes from the U.S. fighting for a 400 ship Navy. Put that in your pipe.

The name of the game is to stay one step ahead of them. The thought of humans ever enjoying peace is a fantasy. Peace only exists to stoned-out hippies living in a colony somewhere in the backwoods of Washington never to have a backbone.

More weapons so they can use them on us and the world. If they spent as much time and money on peace, medical cures and the economy instead of weapon development, what a better world this would be.

The funniest thing about this thread are the replies. My experiment was validated. If the article was about Iran developing this technology it would be celebrated on here and everyone would be talking about what a great thing it is. Hippocracy proven. Im done. Thanks for playing!!

Iran CAN NOT even take their crude oil and turn it into gasoline.
Iran can't make squat. Without Germany's centrifuges, Russia's Scientists, and China's help as well....there is NO way Iran could even get a simple nuclear power station going.
The ONLY reason Iran is on our target right now is because THEY are one of China's fuel sources. Stop China's fuel sources and you control the beast. That's why we're trying to "fluff up" the IRanians by trying to make them sound as though they have "a threat" to us. When in fact they are so stupid they can't even build a refinery all by themselves.
A moonshiner in the hills of West Virginia has more refinery skills than Iranians. They aren't a intelligent nation by any measurement. Their Air Force and Navy is non-existent and all they have is some missiles to lob a recreational rocket hobbyists could have produced if given enough time.

This is old tech. When it becomes scary is when this sort of weaponry gets placed into orbit. I was once told of a weapon of sorts like this in space. Using magnetic propulsion it launched steel I-beams or rods down at the Earth with super velocity. The resulting impact from a steel I-beam would be devastating. It'd be like using a nuclear weapon minus the radiation. Not to mention it isn't using explosive propulsion so it's well within the confines of the Geneva Convention.
