“Israel can handle it.”

I expect so - but I wouldn’t have a problem with helping Israel with weaponry and such, if needed to take them out.

“ I see a bombing campaign on the way. Feel sorry the Iraqis who get in the way.”

They just blew up a big Iranian weapons depot in Syria. I’d imagine hitting something in Iraq would be just as easy.

Depends on if the leaders are insane enough to really believe what they say they believe, re: the “End Times” - according to Islam.

What is Israel’s dealings with Azerbaijan right now? I remember a few years ago they were going to use them as a staging area to attack Iran...and someone in the Obama admin leaked it.

Israel has endured decades of aggression and only responded with conventional weapons. When and if destruction inside Israel becomes to great to bear, they will nuke you and most justifiably so.

Its not about being stupid; its about starting a world war with mega-deaths to bring the 12th Imam out of the Well he climbed into in the 7th century. The “leading” mullahs are all 12er Shia and quite mad - as in crazy).
