Millions in the Arab world are in the streets right now, even late at night. This is the beginning of the end - the only thing I can think of that might save their country from catastrophic ruin - is if Israel immediately announces a cease fire to its ongoing ethnic cleansing. Otherwise, the only question remaining is how much of the world are they going to take with them - is it going to be a re-enactment of Samson at the Temple?

Looks like the Christians are about to see that "second coming" they so urgently want.

Moon of Alabama reports on US troop movements:

Were I a Russian, I'd view this as an existential threat. Nukes are about to be "fair".

The nukes will fly. It's been clear for a very long, long time.

I think Chekhov said something to the effect that if during the first act of a play you see a rifle hanging on the wall, by the last one it will fire.

No one takes the nukes seriously anymore. They want to see them in action.

I refer you to “The Samson Option,” by Seymour Hirsch.
