What?

Do these idiots really believe that something so stupid would work? That we would sit by and just let them nuke an ally? I don't think so....

That we would sit by and just let them nuke an ally? I don't think so.... And just what do you think we would do --- in response, that is?

And what do yo think we would do if China attacked Taiwan? Let me make it simpler: what would have we done two years ago, under Clinton, if either of these events had happened?

Do you see any actions other than filing a "strong protest" with the U.N.?

The United States has no alliance with Israel. We have no treaty obligation to come to their defense if attacked. The U.S. does however have a treaty obligation to Poland. If Russia were to attack Poland, we now have a legal obligation to attack Russia.

And the Israeli response would somehow be benign? Not bloody likely! Iran and old Raf would be radioactive dust in short order. In fact, If the Israelis have the slightest belief that it could happen, a pre-emptive strike is what they do best. Ask Iraq, Egypt, Syria and Jordan.

The United States needs to make it clear that a nuclear attack against one of our allies will be treated as an attack on the United States, and we will respond with devastating consequences.
