Everyone has told me I was out of my mind. Hah!
I must admit, you have a point. But, there is always tomorrow. The total destruction of Syria and North Korea sends a message that these "other" rogue nations best straighten up and fly right, because they can be wiped of the face of the Earth the next day. I can assure you one day after the attack on North Korea and Syria, Iran will have a new group of rulers and the south Koreans can just march into North Korea and take over, uniting the country. As for Syria, who cares. They covered for Saddam, let them fend for themselves!!!
When will people realize that we are already facing a war,
the only question is, will it be on ground of our choosing,
or theirs?
These are symbolic winds of war, not radioactive ones. Israel will not wait for the US to take action and then be attacked by Iran and Syria. Remember the "Six Day War?" This would be a "Six Hour War." Fast and clean. If anyone here is asking Israel to hesitate, then you have never served in combat. Israel is at war. It's time that we win this war and then turn our attention to creating a region which is based on commerce and trade, not bullets and bombs.
p.s. - I love FreeRepublic when they post: "Loose lips sink ships." Other sites should be as wise!
Must be old and other surplus equipment that Russia is unloading while there is still a customer. They'll lose it all anyway when shooting starts.
Better clean up and disperse that huge hot pile at Dimona before you go talking smack.
Think Chernobyl for direct and plume radii.
"The total destruction of Syria and North Korea sends a message that these "other" rogue nations best straighten up and fly right, because they can be wiped of the face of the Earth the next day"
Umm, so we send a message to 'rogue nations' to 'fly right' by totally wiping out two entire countries?
There would be some irony here if it wasn't so disturbingly possible that you're actually serious.
Your "fear" of creating a larger conflict is not based on fact. Note the word "fear" - it is the military power which is feared the most which dominates the battlefield. The use of small, tactical nuclear weapons would be used against military targets - we are not talking about targeting civilians. And the strike would be executed when the winds are blowing towards Syria. This is being "rational." Surviving is a rational and basic instinct.
Mysterio, first and foremost -is the fact that Israel will allow Iran or anyone to incinerate them!
Mysterio, let me go over your query to IsraelBeach:
Mysterio:
Your plan would not work.
It absolutely will work perfectly.
Exactly what do you think would happen after "tactical" strikes on Iranian targets?
There will no longer be a nuke threat to Israel from the insane Iranian's in power.
Mysterio:
Please include how you think other countries would react, including our allies.
I'm sure Israel has considered this but we all must remember one thing. Right after Israel became a nation all Israel leaders and even the peoples themselves have always and continued -to this day- to say: NEVER AGAIN!
Israel will under no circumstances let itself be incinerated/ (as was the case with millions of Jews in WWII being pitched right into the crematoriums). This is absolutely indisputable. Won't happen!
***
I agree that Israel should be prepared to hit Iran with it's tactical neutron bombs - whenever they deem it necessary, and this time frame -has obviously now begun.
Mysterio:
And outline what you believe would happen internally in Iran...
In Iran, internally?? - - well, they won't be here anymore!
"But it is entirely rational, even prudent, to be clear about a preemptive nuclear strike on Iran if you and your family are living in Tel Aviv."
If you assume there will be no consequence, maybe. I see no reason to make that assumption.
" In Iran, internally?? - - well, they won't be here anymore!"
Why not? At the start of your post you were talking about tactical strikes on military target. What are you talking about now?
By waiting and then responding - means Israel is gone.
Israel will not let this happen.
Remember - - - - - - - "NEVER AGAIN"
Bump
Good post, however - we both here - need to understand -that with so many military sites to hit in Iran that either do have/or might have nuclear weaponry - you need to explain how internal you want to get?
why isn`t in israel`s and our interest for israel to lob nukes at these wackos.hit them before they hit us.how many warnings do you need?
