“Which war?” I hear you ask. Don’t play coy. You know very well which war. Many Gentle Readers have written me, asking for my “opinion” about it. The emails have been many and various in their approbations and condemnations, but all have urged me to state a position.
Israel is doing what it must, and here are the reasons.
A nation that possesses weapons of mass destruction and delivery systems that can wield them at long range acquires responsibilities along with those things. One of those responsibilities pertains to its rhetoric. Its rulers’ statements must be taken with full seriousness, especially their threats. Nation X must regard a threat from nation Y as equivalent to an actual attack. This was a component of American strategic doctrine for many decades.
I hear what your are saying about the public rhetoric that Iran is using. But you have to consider this… which country actively infiltrates the other–then overtly assassinates civilian scientists, military and political leaders? If I am wrong, please let me know, but has Iran directly brought in their own state controlled, paid, ID-card carrying operatives into Israel and killed any of their generals, or top officials, or civilian scientists? I know full well they sponsor a lot of proxy actors in the region–as so does the USA. See… ISIS, Ukraine and a long list of nefarious, shady organizations (including Al Quida) and individuals in the past and presently. If had another overtly conduct wet-work operations inside a country which I controlled—I’d step up the threatening rhetoric as well.
Now seeing that President Trump played the Iranians, all the while knowing what the Israeli government was up to–getting ready to strike that is. Then they strike in a manner similar to Pearl Harbor. Yeah–if I were running Iran, I’d give the orders to unload my full missile capacity on Israel. I’m no ZIMP (Zionist-Imperialist) as defined recently by Matt Bracken. Our entire government is top-loaded with such ZIMPs and so are the majority evangelical Christian types. who’ve been brainwashed by their mega-church leaders, televangelists and ZIMP and AIPAC controlled (shills) commentators paraded on cue through FOX news, Worldnet Daily and other so-called conservative outlets.
And if people haven’t noticed, these ZIMPs are now manipulating us all into yet another major war, which in fact could bring in other nuclear states–starting WWIII to cut to the chase. Is this what we want?
Looking back we were concerned about getting into WW3 from the conflict in Ukraine. Push the bear to the breaking point. That was O, Hillary, Joe and Kamala. Now the peace maker who swore to our faces to end all wars in a day sets the stage towards WW3 a different way. Seems like the hidden hand guides the outcome. Is it divine or demonic? Who knows but it’s coming either way. So let’s not cry about it and stay ready. Try to anticipate the moves 10 steps down. Stand tall, protect your family, pray, never forget, and tell the survivors what really happened when its all over. Who knows, maybe Trump can pull us out of the line of fire and everything will be alright.
I reckon the Iranians have had enough material to make bombs for some time. Not being totally stupid, despite being muslims, they are seeking to miniaturise their warheads so as to have them fired by someone else from somewhere else, because Israel and the FUSA have second strike capability. They may be trying to build fast breeder reactors to make plutonium, and according to Israeli disclosures were getting set to test initiators and the explosive compression system. So, boosted fission at minimum, quickly, and multi stage as soon as they can manage it. They just boasted about testing a rocket with 2 tonne payload. Either one big crude weapon, or two or more better refined versions. Nobody knows their range limits, but smuggling via shipping container makes that even more of a nasty guessing game.
Even if you ‘miniaturized’ a warhead–the source can be traced. There’s no way around this. You can trace radioactive materials down to the section of a reactor it was produced in… like a finger prints. So saying the Iranian are developing them to ‘give’ them away–this is highly unlikely as the $thie storm would rain down upon them once the source is traced.
If they are miniaturizing warheads (like we have) then they will put them atop their already existing hypersonic systems for use. You do not need 500 kiloton warheads for a defense. A couple dozen 10 kiloton warheads spread out will do more damage and inflict more psychological impact.
Also, Iran is a sovereign country that has in fact been chicken-$shitted, outright sabotaged, having the officials assassinated and a long laundry list of crimes committed against it for decades, primarily by Israel–and you wonder why their rhetoric is so insane against Israel? This is like blaming a guy for raising his hands against bully cops–then being charged with obstruction and resisting. Please note Israel’s latest propaganda ploy of the last few days about ‘Iran counter-striking’ –like they don’t have the right to do so. Jeeze! The horse$hite coming out of that country is unbelievable now. And Bi-Bi-Nuty-Yay-hoo is begging president Trump for direct action. When the @uck are we going to wake up?
List of nations with weapons of mass destruction. Israel is not in the list. Why?

Because, no matter what the action taken is, when Israel does it, somehow it’s different. Which is to say that anything for which most countries would be subject to condemnation is perfectly fine for Israel to do. Of course, noticing this double standard is also blatant anti-semitism. Funny how that all works.

I agree with that statement, they have a right to self defense.
Nothing has any meaning until congress passes a law or directive that says if you vote to send troops to any country to aid or abet their defense or the defense of the USA, you have to either go yourself, or you have to send a member of your immediate family to the front lines. I think that would end most conflicts. That is what the founding fathers did and why shouldn’t the appointed congress do the same, they are appointed you know, not elected
Thank you VERY MUCH for posting this. I agree with everything the author said. If your enemy threatens to destroy you, and has the ability to do it, and has promised to do it for 50 years, it would be stupid not to take them at their word.
I’m quite tired and disgusted with all of the Mike Adams’ et all complaining that Israel is engaging in genocide of the Palestinian people. I don’t even know what the phrase “Palestinian people” means, as that moniker didn’t even exist until very recently in history. If I’m not mistaken, and I rarely am, Israel was responding to the unprovoked attack against their citizens in their own country, and by the time this happened, they had had quite enough of missiles and bombs flying into their country and killing their people. FAFO.
What I will NOT agree with is the United States getting involved, aside from making damn sure that any attack against our own country (that includes our military bases and embassies) does not go unpunished. Israel is quite capable of not only defending themselves but of terminating, with extreme prejudice, the religious cult leaders of Iran without our assistance, and of financing the means to do so. I expect we are about to witness this.
