I don't think israel can use nuclear weapons, even a 10 megaton tactical weapon would end israel's existence. israel would be a radioactive parking lot for many years. They could end themselves by using weapons on Iran.

Your response is rational. But we’re not talking about rational people here. As Joy says, they’re insane. As Ron implies, they’re a cult. So we cannot rule out that they might use nukes. And in the meantime, the crazies in the US are trying to provoke a nuclear war with Russia. Rational behaviour is becoming a distant memory.

Thinking that is a sane thought. But we aren't talkin' sane here. It's called "The Samson Option," by Seymour Hersh. Well worth considering. It's been the case that, for some people, the idea that "if I can't have X, then nobody can, and, if I"m going down, I'll take us all down," makes sense, even though it's bat-shit crazy. Dangerously crazy.

But think of Jim Jones. They all drank the juice and they all died because he couldn’t have what he wanted.

This is fitting, because from what I read, several of them that drank the (powerade?) or gave it to their babies was because there were men with guns shooting people who tried to escape into the jungle. Because some of them decided it was time to go down, they held everyone hostage and took down children and people who wanted to leave. Its a very fitting analogy I think.

Radioactive living spaces don't go over well. Iran is a very large country, the Zionists control an area the size of New Jersey. Iran supposedly has three weapons and israel 300 weapons. Iran's last demonstration as well as what Hezbollah is doing every day now, the fishnet dome offers nothing in protection from conventional, and nuclear weapons. Would the Zionists commit suicide, it could be said they are doing that now as the world has turned against them.

A lot of "supposedly". And Israel will get the US to pitch in.

As demented as Genocide Joe is, there would be no immediate nuclear response from us. I'm not sure what the u.s. could do now that Russia and Iran have signed a defense pact. I tell people these are not your Mother's nuclear weapons : ) A 10 mile radius fused like glass, a 30 mile radius burned to a crisp.

Yes, there is a lot of supposing in guessing what maniacs will do : ) When the Neutrons scintillate the eye, Run to the Light.

Keep telling yourself that. Right now the US is charging headlong towards a nuclear exchange - over something as piddly as Ukraine.

I wasn't talking about Ukraine, I was talking about israel. I agree, we are closer to nuclear war then ever before in history. Now that Ukraine's military is filled with 60 yr. old men without training, they will be overrun shortly. If u.s./West send troops as they claim. Putin I don't think bluffs, he hasn't so far. Run to the Light.
