My mind has already escalated the action from there, into much bigger nightmare scenarios.
How manuy ships have the Russians lost in the Black Sea? Does anyone think a 37-year-old CB ship has a chance against a drone attack? Hamas will do it in a New York minute, if they can blame it on Israel. Can you say "Gulf of Tonkin"?
Another mightmare: Israeli Naval blockade of port. You know this will happen. Who will try to run the blockade? And what happens when they do?
Nightmare #3: IDF assault on port from overland, seizing control of all port operations. Will USA be forced to defend the port they just built? I know Biden said no boots on the ground ... you don't think he was lying, do you?
“no boots on the ground”
Then who is going to build and operate this pier? This doesn’t make sense.
The pier, as reported by Jerusalem Post, was a Netanyahu suggestion. Once it’s operating, it would be against international law to prevent it being used to help civilians escaping a war zone. Neither the US nor international agencies would stop civilians fleeing. It’s a kind of rope-a-dope project.
