Israel names Russians helping Iran build nuclear bomb

Netanyahu, has handed the Kremlin a list of Russian scientists believed by the Israelis to be helping Iran to develop a nuclear warhead. He is said to have delivered the list during a mysterious visit to Moscow.

I almost certainly would not have been born if the Japs hadn’t attacked Pearl Harbor. (Relating to how my father and mother met.) Nonetheless, I don’t think the world was a better place for the Second World War. Of the Soviet Empire.

This is a signal that they will militarily attack the installations, then go after the knowledge which *would* have been needed to re-build them.

Cheers!

I hope you’re not suggesting that I implied that the world was a better place due to the first World War.

Qom facility. It's buried deep - so deep that probably only nerve gas dropped with penetrator weapons down the ventilation shafts could do the job.

Plus the urban location means a lot of civilian casualties, regardless of whether anyone cares about blasting an ersatz "holy" city.

Which means the Israelis now must shift their strategy from an attack on the Mullahs' nuclear facilities to an attack on the Mullah regime itself. There is a term for this. It's called a Decapitation Strike.

Wipe out the Presidential Palace, the HQ of the Al Quds and Pasdaran forces, the Basiji offices, the command-and-control centers, collapse the regime, incapacitate it from reasserting its authority. The Mullah regime would be history in 24 hours. During the resultant anarchy until a new government is formed (or governments, as Iran may well break apart), commando teams can be inserted to demolish the nuclear facilities on the ground.

I know this is being considered - but will Bibi give the final thumbs up? Only Bibi knows. Per Jack Wheeler

Not at all. The Germans actually sent Lenin in during the Great War and the tactic worked for them in the short run. The Revolution knocked Russia out of the War. Of course, thirty years later they were probably wishing they hadn’t. Most people living in the West today can probably trace their origins in some way to the upheavals of the middle twentieth century, for good or ill.

And if Russia turns to Israel and the United States and warns against an attack on Iran, what next?

Hint: We are not going to risk a confrontation with Russia over Iran.

I suspect that they've already given the warning. Which is why both countries have nothing left to do except talk about the possibility of an attack.

[rahbert]

actually it was Lenin that planned the trip, germans approved only after some deliberation.

[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

That’s very interesting.

[grey_whiskers]

Turn it around.

If you were Russia, would you risk conflict with the U.S. over Iran?

Despite Obama, the US retains the capability to take on the rest of the world combined (conventional arms only).

And Russia knows this.

Cheers!

Meanwhile, Andrea Mitchell NBC News reports about the progress Obama has make with regard to Iran and the nukes. Sure Andrea, keep on dreaming along with your friends in the rest of the state run media. Buffoons all.

[PA-RIVER]

Russia would love to see us bloodied up.

They are also working with Chavez, Joe Kennedys buddy.

With our Communist Kenyan pussbag in the whitehouse, they run the table.

[Anti-Bubba182]

Israel is said to have done that to Gerald Bull, the designer of the Iraq "Super Gun".

[StolarStorm]

It would be a good start, but I'm not sure bombing the facilities would wipe out the Mullah regime. I'm sure they are expecting an attack and have provisions in place to be dispersed.

Now of course, if such an attack gives the green demonstrators a chance to exert themselves... that would do it. But I'm not sure we can rely on the protesters.

Sadly, this is looking more and more to me like it would require a full scale invasion... God help us.

[RolandOfGilead]

"Despite Obama, the US retains the capability to take on the rest of the world combined (conventional arms only)."

which means absolutely nothing when dealing with Russia. US can't touch Russia without ensuring the destruction of the planet. and you wouldn't want that to happen, would you?

[grey_whiskers]

Do you think Russia would risk nuclear war with the US over Iran?

I don't.

[myknowledge]

A full scale invasion of Iran is not only not viable, it goes against the prophecy in Ezekiel 38 where Persia (Iran) will send its army against Israel in the Russian-led assault on Israel (in which the Israelis would eventually clash with the invaders for a little while before fireballs from heaven rain down on them).

Actually it was Lenin that planned the trip, germans approved only after some deliberation.

German General Von Ludendorff (? spelling) reportedly provided an entire freight car full of gold to assist Lenin in financing the revolution after arriving in St.Petersberg. Lenin and the boxcar left Bern via sleeper car.

Ironically, it was our own Allen Dulles (first director of the CIA, 1953 to 1961), who was working for the State Department in Switzerland who reviewed and then rejected Lenin's application for a visa to the United States, and refused to meet with Lenin at 4:00 pm on a Friday afternoon because he (Dulles) had a prior tennis appointment, thus Lenin headed off to Russia and as Paul Harvey might say "Now you know the rest of the story."

[VRWCTexan]

Agreed - makes a lot of sense

Thus whenever guys like Gates whine and opine that somehow a strike on Iran will, at best case, only delay Iran's nuclear plans by a couple of years - I start screaming at the TV
