Iran has a nuke. It is Pakistans and will be launched using a NK missile.There is no suprise here. Question is, "will Israel be able to shoot it down and if they do, what will they do to retaliate?"
I am betting Iran is going to do this because it is no lose for them. If they have one and launch it, they know that Israel will be stopped from retailiating because of the oil.
Wrong. If you take out the Government and its ability to fight back, you can basically go in and take the oil. Nobody wants to nuke the oilfields. Shatter the Gov't's ability to defend the Persian homeland by a devastating nuclear counterstroke. Understand that if we don't, it will only be a matter of time until the Muzzies do it to the American homeland. This will not be allowed to stand. The Islamists think it will, but they will be destroyed thinking that nonsense.
Literally, nuke their ass, take their gas. The Izzies won't retaliate. We will, to set an example for other Muzzies.
Be Seeing You,

This was reported on Fox over a week ago. Maybe they are just getting around to pulling the mines up.
"... would Turkey get involved?? Yes,.."
What's your reasoning behind that? Turkey hasn't gotten involved before (not since the Ottomans), so why do you think they will this time?
I'm talking about now. All this speculation of Syrian moves on the border and Iran's impending move on Aug 22. Pure baloney!
That'd be hilarious, a third party (syria) suddenly rolls on Israel...the left would be finished here and in Israel...there'd be no room for a let's talk chorus, it'd be daisy cutters and JDAMS raining from Damascus to Aleppo...
Possible opportunity?? They would I believe like to occupy/invade northern Iraq.
Removal of a defensive minefield is a common precursor to an attack. 30 tanks would be a battalion sized unit under the old Soviet / warsaw pact design. However, what you and others have pointed out, the armor Syria possesses is in no way capable of going toe to toe with the Merkava. Since Syria lacks a serious airforce, Syria armor would also have to do it without air cover. It would be like shooting fish in a barrel. Syria would be crazy to try to mix it up with Israel at this time. However, August 22 is coming soon, a potential day for crazies.
Anti-personnel and anti-vehicular mines can be sowed by air.
They arm themselves when making contact (and then coming to a stop) with the ground after being dropped via aircraft.
To read a good article on Islam go to yourarmstoisrael.org and select "sermon notes" and pull up "The Final End Time Beast". Print and save for future reference.
if we aren't already doing it - we should be quietly resupplying US bases in iraq and saudi arabia with combat aircraft, bombs, etc. and naval forces in the persian gulf.
Okay, thanks. I mean, not okay. This is not cool at all.
Not so sure. I think Syria has to be confronted and this is as good a time as any to make them accountable for their actions. It's time Syria experience what they export, terror, misery, destruction and death. A wipeout of Syria would isolate Iran and prevent Syria being used as a supply warehouse for Hezbollah.
All this speculation of Syrian moves on the border
How do you figure this is speculation. An IDF source told Jennifer Griffen of upwards of a Syrian tank battalion moving up to the border in conjunction with mine clearing. This isn't speculation, this is actually happening. And if it isn't happening, its IDF disinformation/psyops. This is not speculation
I just heard on fox something about Syrian tanks on their border. I don't know if that is new or interesting or not.
I think it's possible that it will at some point if you believe Bible prophecy, and I do. Gog and Magog are prophesied to be part of an alliance of nations which will attack Israel at some point in the future. Some researchers believe that the ancient tribes known in the Bible as Gog and Magog occupied what is now eastern Turkey and the Caucasus region during the time those prophecies were given.
Of course the prophecy may have meant the descendants of Gog and Magog, and NOT just the land area where they lived at that time. In that case the Turks would not be the people the prophecy envisioned since the Turks migrated into present day Turkey from the steppes of western Asia many centuries after those prophecies were made.
In almost every instance of fulfilled Bible prophecy it was extremely difficult or impossible to figure out details of the prophesied event in advance, but after the prophecy was fulfilled everything became quite clear. The one thing of which I am quite sure is that sooner or later Israel will be attacked by a coalition of enemy nations, mainly Islamic nations IMO, and Israel will destroy those enemies with a devastating nuclear response. It seems obvious to me that that attack could happen at almost any time now without any major international realignment having taken place.
If this report is true, it is not good.
Good as far as I'm concerned. Syria is causing so much trouble in the region that it's time to confront them and let them experience a bit of their own exports. Baby Assad hasn't experienced a direct attack on his country. He needs to be taught a lesson.
