The Israel attack:
Submarine launched missiles on Iran targets rather than air strikes is my opinion. Possibly - probably - including some nuclear- if need be.
Swift, little warning, but collateral damage, I estimate some 60,000+ Iranian civilian casualties. Viable trade off COMPARED to HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of Israelis perishing if the attack considers/worries about this number.
If PARAMILITARY targets like the Revolutionary Guard, naval capability and similar regime targets are included - might as well take care of business and reduce retaliation capability, final INITIAL casualties could reach over 200,000 and cripple the regime.
If - as probable - the populace turns on the regime and kills oppressors personally known to them, neighborhood by neighborhood, once the fear of them disappears in the chaos, eventual non-Israeli caused deaths can reach nearly 400,000 - including the most senior clerics - if they have not fled to Russia, Iraq or any rabbit hole they can find.
PsyOps encouraging the Iranian populace to react in this direction after the Israeli attack cripples clerical authority will also cause enough instability and lack of governance to reduce Iranian retributional response.
Submarines already out there!
Israel went thermonuclear (”H-Bomb”) years ago in addition to nuclear (”A-Bomb” which is what Iran is working on) and why not? They’re surrounded by enemies and many top scientists the world over are Jewish. We wouldn’t have a nuclear program without them. Tel Aviv is probably the safest place in the Levant right now.
From the article:
The Patriot anti-missile systems ... will remain packed;
Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense warships may not be dispatched to Israeli waters;
the number of US servicemen sent over for the annual exercise is to be cut by more than two-thirds;
The US defense or second-strike elements ... will not be there;
Barak’s estimate of 500 dead in the worst case of a war with Iran must go by the board;
Netanyahu and Barak are bowing their heads before the Obama administration.
How would the Iranian population react to collateral damage caused by Israelis?
If they use air strikes they may have to hit some of our bases immediately before they hit Iran. And I have to say I wouldn’t blame them. We haven’t been their ally lately. They’ve got nobody to trust but God.
And they should hit every muslim country all at the same time. Make sure her enemies won’t have the means to strike back.
I hope they save one nuke to turn that damnable well in Qom into a vast glowing crater.
It would kick the legs out from under the shiite heads.
Thanks for sharing your insights, dear FARS!
