Of course I agree with you. But it will be interesting to see if Israel does decide to go in with conventional weapons and destroy as much of Iran's above ground facilities as possible, what the two will do. We can look back and see how the Russians exited in quite a hurry when OIFII started. Even giving Saddam such foolish hints that we would bring in our main force through Jordan, when they fully understood we had no forces in the Med built up to do such a thing.
And what will be most surprising to me is if Israel decides to expend it's air forces in such a long distance endeavor. I had for the past few years argued against their potential for such a long distant mission which would have to be very involved, air support, taking out so much AAA/SAM sites and Iran's air force just to get at a point where they then could perform rather large bomb runs etc..
Their air force make up is not designed for long distant missions. But never the less. If Bibi takes the helm, he made it clear he will end the Iranian nuclear weapon program one way or another. And they can't use their nuclear arsenal. It is against their nature to do a nuclear first strike. And a lot of Iranians would go up in a poof close to all the facilities scattered in various locations.
I for one continue to roll these things through my mind and come up with a blank as to just what Israel might be able to achieve. Surely we are not going to see the US perform any air strikes on Iran for at least four years, unless for some reason Iran could assemble a few working atomic weapons and plant them in Israeli cities unnoticed, which we would consider rather ridiculous to consider.
Hopefully the Iranian peoples will finally reach a breaking point and go after the Mullahs. The IRGC just may fall apart if this happened, and let a military group set up a temporary government. Will young men kill their brothers and fathers for the Mullah. Of course I think out loud and you should not feel obligated to respond in kind. Just some thoughts I believe are not far off the mark in general terms.
