Here's the Hidden Danger in Iran's Attack on Israel.

Right now, Iran doesn't have nukes. But when that becomes a reality or near possibility and there's a ballistic launch on Israel, what would Israel do? Launch it's own nuclear strike before it takes a potential hit?

The "launch on warning scenario." That's the real danger down the road - and why Iran's nuclear weapons program needs to be stopped.

Remamber that if it comes to button pressing time, Israel will be operating with all the satellite and other intel America (and her allies) have on Iran. And that includes a lot from Irans neigbours in Pakistan, So I suggest the initial strikes would include any facilites for the manufacture of fissionable material and all the scientists working there I am sure it will be a lot less entertaining than the Maverick movie. But the result will be a few deep radioactive holes in the ground. Those places dont stay secret from satellites for too long. They track heat, traffic and radiation like its a lighthouse..Iran will cease to be a threat on anything more than a tribal level within hours..😷

@beckyromero North Korea is a special case. A basket case economy kept afloat by China on rare earth deposits..Iran doesnt have a big brother to feed it.. Russia is only a fair weather friend and doesnt have the cash to fund Iran..😷

Ironic that the NK situation evolved because of Eisenhower's decision to pass the buck. And the Iran situation evolved because of Eisenhower's decision to overthrow its government.

@beckyromero Americas post war path was set early, via the Marshall plan. It seemed back then America could do no wrong..😷

Six years after the Trump administration withdrew from the Iran nuclear accord, Tehran is rapidly accumulating enriched uranium, some of it very close to weapons grade. Experts fear that a bomb could be a short dash away. — Washington Post

@Bumbles I do fear that Iran will become the object lesson for the region, and as far as America is concerned, the world, not to play dangerous games with the big boys. And the Iranian people will pay the price for it..😷

@Bumbles They'd just have to ask Putin a few in exchange for the next batch of drones they're sending him to use in Ukraine. Probably they already did.

@Elessar Good point about Putin helping Iran’s nuclear program. Why not?

Nuclear weapons are what will destroy the world

@Elessar As you said... Future will give us reason... You're maybe right..
But NEVER say NEVER!
Elessar · 26-30, M
@Hougal Those same reason would trigger a hot war in a parallel without nukes, so the outcome is the same. I'd rather live in the reality with nuclear deterrents than in the FFA scenario
Hougal · 31-35, M
@Elessar Okay. I understand!!!!

I wouldn't put it past Israel to do something like this.

Unlike you, I'm worried.

@whowasthatmaskedman problem is how much radiation, how fast it can be detected and the number of people affected. Big enough you can't handle all the cases.

COVID told us that alone.

@DeWayfarer I agree completely. In fact before the Fusion bomb was developed, the idea of a dirty bomb dust being dropped like crop dusting over cities from a high altitude was known, but it got no traction in a declared war.Being mainly useful over large civilian populations and too slow to have shock and awe...That is a weapon of genocide..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman exactly. A genocide weapon. 😞
