Israel has given word that they’re about to sink the next Iranian warship that tries a delivery

With a Russian flotilla offshore. Yeah, uh huh, nothing to it.

- so now the Palis have to try to build them from scratch, basically the sand in Gaza.

No they won't. They'll come via Egypt or maybe even via our friends in Iraq.

There’s more to economics than just a text book.

There's more to logistics in religious wars and geopolitics than running factories, or hand waving.

We’ll see who’s right. You seem awfully sure of yourself versus decision makers in Israel.

By the way, I knew another clown that considered himself to be an ABSOLUTE EXPERT in anti-missile technology, probably worked at your place in MA (who knows, maybe you).

This person told me in the 1980s that there was NO WAY that the United States could design an effective anti-missile system. Just not possible. Absolutely impossible. Stupid to spend one dollar attempting it. Total waste of money. Would not do this country a bit of good.

Obviously that person was also CLUELESS as the point of the system was not to shoot down missiles but to provide a CREDIBLE case that we would not be pushed around by the Soviets - and it worked, and the Soviets folded - in large part because that particular person stayed up there in MA and wasn’t involved in policy making (thank God).

I simply have a problem with people that purport themselves to know everything simply because of their little niche in their career field. I have to work with people like that - they’re always second-guess management decisions, not because they have the same information as management, but because they DON’T.

Iron Dome, along with the rest of the Israeli defensive systems, may or may not prove itself capable of defeating the threat from their neighbors, but I REALLY, REALLY, doubt anyone in this country knows enough to make that call with certainty.
