This Bolton guy never saw a war he didn’t want to join.

Go home, John, go home.

America can’t afford the cost of a major military effort

But waiting until Iran has nukes and ICBMs used on their announced target of New York City and Chicago is affordable?

“Israel has the 2000 lb bunker busters - that is the max that can be carried by fighters. But if you drop enough of them on the same spot, any depth can be penetrated.”

Multiple drops on top of each other is is how they obliterated nasty Nasrallah of Hezbollah, but his bunker was under 60 ft of soil. Natanz and similar centrifuge sites are under soil and layers of reinforced concrete. You need the largest bunker busters -GBU57a/b- we have to destroy Natanz. Even then success is not assured.

If we don’t drop our best and biggest, then maybe Israel will resort to what ground penetrators they have, then drop a nuke into the 70ft deep carved out hole. This way minimum radioactive fallout on the surface, and maximum blast downwards to collapse the centrifuge rooms.
I am sure this is one of Israel’s contingency plans. This takes pinpoint accuracy by Israel’s flying aces.

What a thing to say! AFTER Trump made it clear we will be helping to deter missiles launched from Iran into Israel

We won't be attacking Iran, per se

Bolton and his creatures are spoiling for confrontation so they can blame Trump for escalating the thing

[OKSooner]

They just don’t make ‘em like that any more...

[BOBWADE]

I hope they have bunker busting tech needed to take out Iran’s underground facilities

[Uncle Miltie]

Dude. Stfu.

[af_vet_1981]

We are there to protect our assets from terrorist strikes. We are, and have had it known for years, we are allies with Israel. That’s why we have morons at colleges do anti-jewish riots

Concur;
and they post comments against Israel and the Jews on internet forums like this. They are legion

[SaveFerris]

LOL 🤣🤣😃

I actually rode in one about 1976

It was the regular but that color I think 🤔 pretty close

Like a very dull yellow or flat butterscotch

We were out on the streets where the muscle cars were

It was like being in an upside-down fish bowl on wheels

That assumes they have a fighter rated for nuke drop and that they ave a small nuke that a fighter can take. If used, that would be a major revelation of Israel’s capabilities.

Modern nukes are only 1000 pounds. It’s very well-known Israel has nuke capable F-16s, F-15s, F-35s, Jericho missiles, and submarines. Heck, Israel had nuke-capable F-4 Phantoms.

So you had inside info about Israeli military capabilities or are you just guessing?

Here's a quote from an unreliable source:

Reversing the Bush Administration policy, the Obama administration provided Israel with a limited number of GBU-28 bunker buster bombs. During the November 2009 Executive Session of the 40th Joint Political Military Group (JPMG), US and Israeli counterparts discussed the upcoming delivery of GBU-28 bunker busting bombs to Israel, noting that the transfer should be handled quietly to avoid any allegations that the USG is helping Israel prepare for a strike against Iran.

As shown in the picture above, the F-15E (and F-15I) can carry and drop GBU-28s.

My guess is that Israel will drop some of these on Natanz.

Videos of the drops will be highly classified.

Bolton is correct. And for those that don’t think this is our problem, remember the mullahs took over Iran due to Jimmy Carter. That’s right, the presidential gift of world death and misery that keeps on giving.

[dennisw]

See my charts at post 34. Only the largest bunker buster will take out the Natanz centrifuge complex. GBU-28 are baby bunker busters. That can take out cats and dogs.

GBU-57A/B MOP
The GBU-57A/B MOP (Massive Ordnance Penetrator) is a precision-guided, 30,000-pound (13,600 kg) “bunker buster” bomb used by the United States Air Force. [2]

That was the plan for Iraq too. wasn’t it. But with desert people, it doesn’t matter if you’re trying to help them, you’re an outsider. They’re nationalists, just like us.
