There it is.
carry a suitcase nuke

If only they had one ... they would have used it. Their suitcase would be a shipping container.
Netanyahu also alluded to changes coming to Iran internally
Apparently their missiles have a CEP of one country or so.
We are God's people!!! God does not exist$$$
The Constitution of Israel is a humanist document designed for a secular society.
The use of any reference to God is strictly for its coercive impact favoring those in power.
And please, that's my opinion of zionist rule. I don't hate Jews or any other semitic people.
Consider another scenario...
Japan attacks Pearl Harbor, defense keeps any ship from being
damaged. Would that have made any difference in our response?
Looks like I RAN (into a hidyhole)is a paper tiger without nukes and surrogates!
Iran’s already done plenty of stupid things, but that’s just a minor quibble, great post!
“...the flunkies drew straws to see who finally had to break the bad news to Nasser.”
Occasionally, I’ve wondered what Nasser would do these days when faced with a large Islamic threat in his country. Unless I’m wrong, he was more of an Arab Nationalist than an Islamist.
I suspect he would have cracked down hard on the Islamists in Egypt.
I hope the fall is crushing.
Nasser may have been the one who cracked down on the muzzie brotherhoood. In the 1950s Sadat had the press conference announcing the overthrow of King Farouk, if memory serves, and was Nasser’s one very loyal and competent subordinate.
Sadat’s approach in the 1973 war was to disable Israel’s Bar-Lev line on the east bank of the Canal, moved a lot of forces over into the Sinai in a long band the full length of the Canal, and stop, well under the range of the SAM umbrella which was substantial, and keeping the SAMs west of the Canal. They were to dig in, and make dislodging them too costly for the Israelis to knock them out, forcing a negotiated settlement and Egyptian recovery of the Sinai.
This success made Sadat madly popular in Egypt, but remarkably unpopular among the muzzie fanatics and his erstwhile allies in Syria, who hadn’t known about his limited objectives. Sadat either intended+, or was enticed by Henry Kissinger, to boot out the USSR and become a US ally and client. One of Kissinger’s principles was, “no war without Egypt, no peace without Syria”, and having negotiations with Israel wasn’t palatable to the USSR anyway.
Nasser was nimble and aggressive, but not any great genius. When I was a kid, Yemen was two states (in a form similar to the two Koreas, or the two Vietnams), having been partitioned due to a ceasefire between the Egypt-supported faction and the islamofascist faction supported by the KSA. Egypt’s army used chemical warfare against Saudi troops, maybe the first time that had happened on a battlefield since World War One.
OTOH, after the ceasefire there, Nasser got the Saudis to join him in cutting off Israel shipping from the Gulf of Aqaba (an obvious act of war). Egypt already barred Israel shipping from the Canal. When Nasser had the UN observers kicked out of the Sinai, war was inevitable. The Israelis had intel about the exact date (and even time of day) when the Arabs were going to attack and made their crucial preemptive strike.
Then they took the Sinai and the Canal was closed to *everyone* for six years.
After the Egyptian peace treaty with Israel, the pro-Soviet faction — hard core Marxist stooges — were making political trouble, and Sadat (who I think actually was or had been a member of the Brotherhood) lifted the ban on their political activity and let some leaders out of jail, as a counterbalance.
How’d that work out? :^)
Not their first time. Seems like there’s a power vacuum. The Mullahs won’t rule Iran forever. Hard to say when.
