After Iran Nukes Israel...

[pornstarwannabe]

I will be able to sit back and say "I told you so." I like that because i am a "told you so" kind of guy.

The US will not retaliate with NBC (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical) weapons. Why? Ethical dilemma. Tens of thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of innocent civilians will die in a retaliatory attack. Yes I know, some are thinking the retaliatory attack could be directed at military installations in Iran. That is a valid thought, except for the fact that a strike on military installations would have minimal impact on the Iranian government.

So, do we take action now, or embrace the inevitable? We'll we teaching this event in our schools for decades to come: How the world saw the Nuke threat (just like it saw the Nazi threat) and waited to take action. That "waiting game" caused millions to die.

The US wont respnd with chemical or biological weapons... because they would be commiting war crimes if they did so... just so you know

Liberals will immediately jump to their feet in opposition to a nuclear response on behalf of Israel. They would oppose such a response to a nuclear strike on America territory.

based on the long history of nuclear strikes on America I assume

 

[Squibbs]

Fuck Israel.

Fuck Iran.

Fuck America.

No, I do not know. US policy dictates a response with NBC if the US or its allies are attacked with NBC. Fact!

Based on many years of observing liberal pusillanimity.

according to this logic, the right would be thrilled if terrorists launched a major and deadly attack on american soil resulting in horrendous casualties just so they could show how wrong the evil liberals are


if you think that's stupid, it's not anymore stupid than what you said

at that point, I doubt Israel would listen to the world....they would just act, and justifiably so.

Israel is in a very tough spot:
a. Israel can do nothing -> Iran never gets the Nuke and all is well
b. Israel can do nothing -> Iran gets the Nuke -> Iran lets a group detonate the nuke inside Israel (Iran will not launch a missile that can be traced to them)
c. Israel launches a preemptive non-nuke strike. Publicly, Arab state denounce it. Privately, Arab states want this since they are afraid of a Nuclear armed Iran

I am betting on the preemptive strike.

unfortunately, I'm guessing, that Israel will attach Iran, like they did Syria and Iraq. Why they waited so long is anyone's guess.

Because the US urged them not to attack. The US Presidents always think they can solve an issue diplomatically.

Not only is it policy, but the US has a list of countries on the Nuke "list." This list was leaked during the wikileaks incident. Google it.

are you claiming the Nuclear reponse is the same as chemical or biological response?


I think you're missing what I'm saying here


Nuke = not a chemical

Nuke = not biological


I could post pictures if it would help

Bull!

If Iran "nukes Israel," there won't be more than a 90-minute lapse between the Iranian attack and the evaporation of Tehran. Even the american liberals can't get their candles lit that fast.

Just so you know, only the losers are charged with war crimes.

Ignorance.

Israel has post-attack capability.

Postmortem capability, even.


Any nuclear attack on Israel would be a suicide attack.


Now. We know the Islamic extremists are fond of kamikaze attacks.

However, these are the loss of a few "martyrs" to attack many victims.

You're talking about mass "martyrdom".


The real reason Israel doesn't want a nuclear Iran is simply the added political advantage it would give them.

Think of all the money we'll save in forgeign aide.

No picture necessary.

US policy is to retaliate against an NBC strike with NBC. Policy is also not to use them first, but reserve the right to use as a first-strike if necessary. Does it state that a B attack has to has a B response? I do not know for certain.

And while I am no expert on US policy regarding NBC, I can image government officials wanting to use BC in retaliation to a nuke strike simply because of the radiation issue.

That's because you think of nuclear weapons in WWII terms.

New classes of nukes leave no residual fallout. "Banned" neutron weapons.

A high altitude EMP burst would leave millions without power.

That's the worry, Iran arms a cargo ship or sub with a missile and EMPs the US.

That's the 4th time today I've read this phrase written incorrectly.

Two were in online articles from national publications.
