Any use of nuclear weapons likely will result in immediate global escalation.
Israel has lost the initiative. Clearly losing the war. Large numbers of Israelis have fled or are fleeing Israel. “The tribe” is migrating.
United States is staking all of our might on defending what amounts to maybe a couple million core Israelis. A country dependent on massive American support while we bleed.
More than two million Arabs live in tiny Israel amid a total of only about 9 million people.
Iran’s allies are powerful, proximate, and easily resupply Iran. Such as China using the new rail system:
The global center of mass — the pendulum of influence — clearly is moving faster East this year. On the scheme of things, Israel is a speck.
Yet the strategic area we euphemistically call “Israel” will likely fall under SCO influence and then control. SCO is the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. The “Other NATO”.
This alone can be catastrophic for the West, and Japan. Not to mention Taiwan and our strategic human and manufacturing interests.
Iran has resilient supply lines with other SCO partners such as China and Russia. ...

what is this stupid garbage.
Totally off the mark, Israel is not losing anything
Yon is writing fantasy now?
Is this guy insane or is he just making a an early April Fools post?
Michael Yawn.
It’s antisemitic pro Chinese absurd propaganda.
Michael Yon has been descending into tin-foil hat territory over the past few years. He predicted massive starvation in Germany a couple of years ago that never materialized.
China doesnt give a hoot about Iran as long as the oil is flowing. Notice that none of the ports have been hit?
Russia has been told to sit back because the grown-ups are talking. Russia couldn’t get 30 cruise missiles and 6 B2 level bombers together in the next month—let alone in a week. They want no part of this.
Iran is a tough place to get to. The supply lines from Pakistan and Afghanistan go through rugged mountainous territory. Drop a bomb on a bridge in that area and nothing is moving for a long time.
Iran is losing. And losing big. Every day they have fewer missile launchers to use.
No one likes a loser. No one is coming to their aid.
The only aid the Mullahs are going to get is to be put up in a hotel next to Bashir Assad’s family.
Has this poltroon ever read the Bible?
We need a seven year peace treaty brokered by a historically strong world ruler.
I normally respect Michael Yon - but no longer. No one is leaving Israel in any significant numbers AT ALL. This isn’t going nuclear.. He’s just plain wrong.
Michael Yon needs to read the Book of Esther among others.
I’d say both.
Iran was the instigator of most unrest in the Middle East.
This may actually bring a period of relative peace to the region.
Who is positioned to take its place?
I doubt it.
ROFL
good grief, have the paid Russian trolls now moved on to Israel?
This is the stupidest thing I have read in weeks.
Israel will be fine. God will take care of that.
I think if anything China saw this and got the message
Pure BS...
