    I’m honestly concerned because Israel has made statements suggesting they’re not going to just let it go. I honestly think it’s only a matter of time before one of them tries to nuke the other.

      I’m no global politics expert, but Biden did tell Israel they won’t support a counter attack.

      Pretty sure if Israel were to nuke Iran, there would be a swift, immediate response from most of the world. It would end the Israel Gaza conflict, and not they way Israel wants to end it.

        Or the rest of the worlds politicians would size up, clench their cheeks and go “no-no-no-no”. And then do nothing, hoping it solves it self. Feels more in line with what we are seeing.

          Would you be willing to join the military to help in such a conflict since it seems to be such an easy problem to solve to you? It’s no easy to justify sending troops to die in a war, both economically and ethically, I don’t think many world leaders like to actively send people to die in a conflict despite what everyone seems to think.

            We have international laws, but for some reason no country seems to want to uphold them when Israel continuously breaks them. That means the international laws aren’t laws anymore and that’s a dangerous precedent.

              Rules based order has always been a gentleman’s agreement and no one is willing to bloody their nose over Israel’s temper tantrum for the time being.

        From whom?

        We have no idea, if the US, France and UK would actually allow another nuclear power to commit to a secondary strike to disable Israel from nuking further. They certainly won’t use their nukes on Israel to do it themselves.

        I agree. As crazy and genocidal as Netanyahu is, he’s not suicidal. He wants there to be an Israel so he can be the dictator of it. Nuking Iran would be the end of that.

        Swift immediate responses from who? Everyone that is against Israel is against them already, everyone else is in te Klan.
