I know it sounds nasty, it depends how they hit Iran. Its boiling down to life or death for Israel.
That is what Iran is promising. Death. Unconditionally.
And Shumer is right, a surgical striking will merely slow them down. It won’t stop them.
Again, whatever happens to Israel, happens to Europe, and then America.
Schumer and Nadler want to hand over Poland and the rest of Eastern Europe to Russia - that is unacceptable.
Falling oil prices are our friend and Iran’s nightmare. A surgical strike by the Israelis will put Iranian leaders in the position of maintaining their position by keeping the populace under control via infrastructure projects, supporting Hamas and Hezzbollah, or continuing their work on nuclear weapons.
They can’t fund everything simultaneously as they did in the past. Setting back the nuclear program requires the mullahs to make greater cutbacks in their other programs to regain what was destroyed. Oil was below $60/bbl this past week and will probably see $40/bbl early next year.
The key is to inflict enough damage on the nuclear program to make recovery difficult and possibly hazardous to the mullah’s political survival. My guess is that Iran’s oil income is down about 50% to 60% already. This is the ideal time economically to attack the nuclear facilities.
