Drudge Reporting Israel To Nuke Iran

www.drudgereport.com has a breaking news banner that is reporting Israel plans a tactical nuclear strike against Iranian nuclear facilities..

I suppose that's one way for the US to "get 'er done" without mussing our hair, tsk, tsk!

This way we can by proxy and later claim it "wasn't me".

(BTW- I don't condone such an action by Israel or anyone else, especially at this juncture.)

I really doubt the US wants a nuclear strike by any country... That would seriously upset the delicate balance of deterrence right now.

What they want publicly and privately are almost certainly two different things. My guess is the US would like nothing better than to destabilize the entire region.

It wouldn't just destabilize the region... Probably the world. The US doesn't want to destroy itself, I'm sure.

Don't kid yourself... the US is prepared to do whatever it takes to acheive it's political and military aims, just like most other countries.

But the US destroying the entire region would not do anything for us. The oil there would be unattainable. We'd be lucky if nukes aren't used elsewhere, destroying us. I don't think the US is so short-sighted that they'd be willing to start a nuclear chain reaction that would end up destroying much of the world and its assets with it.

These are low-yield tactical nukes. US probably wouldn't consent in advance to them being used but Israel may attack first and ask permission later like they did in Iraq in 1981.

I don't think if they were used that there would be an all-out retaliation.. more likely Iran and it's allies would withhold oil or make terrorist attacks in retaliation.

These aren't nukes in the Hiroshima sense as Dave said... if they go through with this, it will be to take out specific buildings/sites and not completely obliterate miles and miles of everything.

I agree with Dave. The US government pursues its own agenda. We're not a great and rightious country, we just justify our actions to convince the populace of our 'good intentions'.

Screw it, the world is doomed anyway!

Don't tell anyone, but B33R is planning to nuke C1D3R a week next Tuesday. Shhhhh!







I joke because of course nothing I say will make the blindest bit of difference and I truly believe the world is doomed. It is only a matter of time before the world implodes in on itself with everyone attacking each other, not even the UN can stop that.

There's really no point talking about what's "right" as there's nothing we can do about it. Countries don't care about "right" and "wrong" nowadays anyway. We might as well just run some sweeps and see if we can correctly guess who attacks who and who's on which team. Earn a few bucks before our countries all start siding off, attacking each other and we all get killed.


Defeatist attitude, I know, but my glass always was half empty.

If this is true, then it's as good a way as any to trigger off a massive conflict in the Middle East. The rest of the Arab world isn't going to sit idle and watch Tehran burn in nuclear fire.

And there I was hoping to be able to die peacefully before the Armageddon happened...

Exactly.. they're using nukes because they need to go deep.. there's 70 feet of concrete they need to penetrate.

I doubt Isreal would nuke Iran....and if it did, would be devestaed by the result....Iraninan retaliation, Syria, Hamas, Hesbollah.

Those of you that don't believe the power/influence they have really need to visit the region. The media has failed in truely informing you about their capabilities.

No Nukes...Ever

Nukes should never be used to solve disputes because of their lasting effects on future generations. If you disagree, imagine how your life would be now had nukes been available and used in The Civil War and The Revolutionary War.

Yeah, like nuking is going to make peace! It truly strikes me as hypocritical of "certain" countries to allow nuclear powers and allow their use to selected countries while denying others access to it.

It's like saying: "I'm going to eat your cookies so that you don't eat them!" = "I'm going to nuke you so that you don't have nukes!" Why in God's name do YOU have nukes yourself??

Hypocrisy I say!!

Okay, let me clarify again. THESE ARE NOT Hiroshima-style nukes that will kill 150,000 people on impact and disperse nuclear radiation over hundreds of miles. These are basically bunker busters with a low-yield capability.

We can argue that Israel attacking Iran in ANY CASE will have direct implications on the region, and I'm not necessarily sticking up for Israel, but it seems like everyone here is picturing a huge mushroom cloud over Tehran. Picture bunker busters already in use in Iraq and Afghanistan by the US.

Yeah.. the word "nuke" is an unfortunate association, as you point out... no mushroom cluds, just deep penetration.

If a country was openly threatening to wipe USA off the map, and that country started developing nuclear technology, how do you think the land of the free and the home of the brave would react?

There was talk of nuking Russia at the end of WWII (if I remember correctly) because they were perceived to be a potential threat.

Ussr

The USSR was in our nuclear crosshairs right after WWII. I, for one, am glad that we didn't nuke them, although many in government could have justified it at the time.

In any event, big nuke, little nuke; any nuke is nuclear technology that can be made bigger and badder by the holder.

If the global community continues to allow any nation to develop, build and maintain nukes then I foresee the inevitable extinction of man as a direct result of it.

The dinosaurs lived for about 150 million years. Does anyone here think that our nuclear tipped societies will live as long?

Selective biological agents are the wave of the future IMO.. nukes will never be used full-scale.. but then, I could be overestimating the intelligence of Man in general.
