A small Question. I have heard of the massive destructive power of “vapor bombs”.


If Israel were attacked with Nuclear weapons and responded by using Hydrogen bombs on Mid East oil fields, what would happen to the oil lifted out of the ground by the blast or successive blasts of these weapons?


My guess is the energy released would be immense.


The biblical story of Israel’s enemies armaments burning for 7 years might be the result .


Oil is their real weapon. What makes anyone think Israel would leave the oil fields alone?

--I think the us government and europe and japan would turn on israel in two seconds if they threatened the major oil fields in an attack, or if they actually did it. I also think that israel wouldn't hesitate to use nuclear blackmail against us. The middle east is too complicated with us being at the mercy of their oil supplies, whether or not israel does this or that doesn't change that fact, which IS a fact. Until we get new sources that are reliable and cheap at the pumps (even beyond russian oil which is a security threat in itself, just more dependency), we'll keep holding israel back, no matter what it takes behind the scenes. That's the only thing that has stoped them from going all out war, because we tell them not to. Israel is not even close to being self sustaining, they would collapse in short order without western aid and our umbrella- and they know full well we would use force to keep islamic oil flowing.
