If it goes nuclear, with the Iranians launching the first shot, then the complete blame will fall to the Euros and the Russians. Old world politics at their best.
What would Russia care if a few nukes hit Israel? Russia might even feign outrage by crashing down into iran and seizing it's long coveted warm water access and everyone would applaud the way russia came to the rescue.
Most likely Iran will not fire a missile at Israel. A more likely scenario is that they will hand off a nuclear device to Hamas or some other terrorist organization. That way they can plead innocent to the world.
"then the complete blame will fall to the Euros and the Russians."
A little late for the blame game. If it goes Nuclear, it goes Nuclear. End of story. New beginning of History.
One thing of note. Nuclear is not so Nuclear anymore.
There is a thing called EMP. It does not kill at 1st, nor does it destroy at 1st, but it wipes our all electric generating capability within view from the point of explosion. It is exploded in the Atmosphere and the size of the detonation determines how high. Over Teheran, it will cause all electrial connections to fry, all toilets to stop, all refrigerators to stop.
In a matter of days, hospitals will be without backup power of any kind. Old and young will die. Then disease becomes rampant with the rotting bodies and food. Communities will die and people will riot killing each other and feeding on the dead.
Much slower than being incinerated, but the results are just as sure.
What are you talking about? Iran, as far as we know, doesn't have a nuke yet or they would have used it by now. The whole point of this thread is to ascertain whether or not Israel is going to take care of terrorist states now while it can, or gamble their very existance away in "hopes" their mortal enemies will all of a sudden become civilized.
Israel is going to be blamed and cursed no matter what she does. It's high time she started acting in her own self interest for a change, and to hell with the rest of the world!
