Getting spooky
I was going to mention Joel Rosenberg’s books and then I saw your post. It’s a plausible scenario just a little different than the book. Russia and the Muslim nations propose a U.N. Security Council resolution calling for a nuclear free Middle East or forced disarmament. President Obama has the US abstain on the vote and it’s passed. Israel can’t comply as they know Iran and maybe other nearby nations have or can quickly get nukes but of course they say they don’t. After the deadline passes the scenario plays out similar to the first Gulf War after Iraq invaded Kuwait only the military coalition is led by Russia against Israel.
