Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 This could get real nasty....and much of the world will side with Iran and / or any other Muslim Country and blame Israel and us for the whole thing. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedalia Dave Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Kuwait and Egypt will most likely to sit it out. While they are not pro-Israel, they definitely have ZERO love for Iran. Syria is a wild card as is Turkey. Lebanon aka Hezbollah and Hamas will go all in with Iran. The biggest question is will China send arms to Iran and will we stand by Israel.

Cypress Sun Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 3 minutes ago, Sedalia Dave said: Maybe this will diffuse the situation a little Iran says Hamas leader killed from close range I doubt it. The entire area has been a powder keg for thousands of years, but markedly so after 1948. The only thing that's different now is nuclear devices, explosive (or implosive) and/or radiative contamination. I would not put it past the Iranians to use contamination devices.

Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Remember Bagdad Bob? He was claiming there were no American troops in Bagdad while American tanks could be seen in the background while he was reporting. Reminds me of Mayorkas claming the border is closed and secure. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailrider #896 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 You can bet your bippy that if Iran uses nukes in any form, Israel will make downtown Tehran a trinitite parkinglot! Israel has never admitted to having nukes, but a book published a number of years ago, called "The Bomb In The Basement" describes Israel's early nuclear program. They also have "lill birdy" called the Jericho 3, which can reach Iran. Hopefully it never comes to that. Perhaps conventional measures would prevent Iran from going nuclear. The U.S. is supposedly sending additional forces to the area, but there is no public information as to what, how and to what extend we will get involved in the region.. Then there is Turkey... Erdogan is threatening to invade Israel! And they are members of NATO. So where does that leave NATO and the U.S. I suspect that if a certain individual was till president, or becomes so, he would call Erdogan and tell him not to do something stupid!

I don’t believe the NATO agreement includes a member nation making an aggressive action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 One can only hope that Iran’s missiles were designed by the people that worked on the SCUD missile guidance system. Wait! This just in… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 With a rumoured 100+ devices, owned by Israel, I don't want to think about what could happen, if they thought they might be overrun or losing. A lot of the area would only be a memory and old photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Way back when (I was in High School, mid 60"s), it was reported that Israel had adopted what they called the "Samson" doctrine. Basically, it was a doctrine that stated if they ever thought they were about to be annihilated, they would take EVERYONE with them. Personally, I don't know if this is true....... but I would sure hate to be a surrounding nation if things get nasty. ..........Widder 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgavin Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Considering the rape and torture Hamas has done to captured Jews, the Samson/Masada approach is logical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailrider #896 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Back about 1972 a friend happened to talk face-to-face with then chief of staff of the IDF air force. The friend asked Modi Hod if, in the extreme (considering the possibility of the Soviet Union becoming involved in the Middle East), without disclosing anything classified, would Israel "pull the temple down around our ears"? According to the friend, Hod smiled and said, "I hope it never comes to that." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 I imagine the Jewish Peoples experience in the 1930's and '40's have a lot to do with any response to the danger, (real or perceived) of being overrun. Their phrase: "Never Again" resonates through all levels of their society and people. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgavin Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 I saw in the news today, that Warren Buffet (Berkshire-Hathaway) is steadily divesting his stocks and going to cash. The headline said this will come to some $132 billion going to cash. Buffet has criticized the national debt forever, yet remains a Democrat. Go figure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
