Good for Israel... Iran probably feels they can knock out Israel with fewer than 5 nukes - maybe 3... and that once the deed is done, there's won't be retaliation - what's to fight over, right? This puts an end to that fantasy. Israel needs nukes in subs - and the sub's locations hidden. Again, good for Israel - hats off to them.

MAD (Mutual Assured Destruction) only works with rational beings; besides, Israel is likely planning to attack Iran so the nuke-armed subs are not meant as deterrents but rather, as pointed out, the means to retaliate after crippling nuke attacks by Iran.If that scenario plays out there will be little left of either country.

I’d support a nuclear first strike against Iran.

Just stop playing.

...reverify range to target, one ping only.

...Vasily.

Not only one of Hollywood's best-ever lines for a movie, but you also "hear" it in Sean Connery's voice years later!

One more Obama term, and they’ll be able to knock out the US with three, maybe one.

I believe only Israel’s possession of nukes has kept the Muslims from launching open warfare.

I wonder if Mecca is one of the targets for Israeli nukes?

Our language is being restricted by Homeland Security. I was afraid to use the term too. I hate what they’re doing to my country.

I’m glad to see that the obvious question was the first response on the thread.

My immediate reaction to the headline was: WELL DUH!

Someone give please give the gaggle of Der Spiegel reporters who wrote this - RONEN BERGMAN, ERICH FOLLATH, EINAT KEINAN, OTFRIED NASSAUER, JÖRG SCHMITT, HOLGER STARK, THOMAS WIEGOLD and KLAUS WIEGREFE - a clue, because clearly they don’t have one if they think this is news.

Here is the Der Spiegel link, for anyone who was wanting the source article the posted article was talking about:

http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/israel-deploys-nuclear-weapons-on-german-built-submarines-a-836784.html

English language.

It is amazing how stoopid or so filled with hate the Palestinians and Israel’s neighbors are that they have no problem with millions of Arabs being ‘sacrificed’ by the Iranian non-Arabs in order to try and annihilate Israel. M.E. Arabs have got to be some of the most boneheaded stoopid human beings alive.

On second thought, maybe the poor fools believe they will not be incinerated and poisoned by the nukes the non-Arab Iranians will try to use. That too would figure for the M.E. Arab population. And just writing that makes me a target for the insanuslims. Truth is such an ugly thing to Arab Mooselimbs.
