threat of a nuclear war.


Concur.
The threat is genuine and expanding rapidly.

In 1945, we used nukes to "protect" ourselves from "projected losses" from "our invading" Japan. We followed up with the Japan occupation.

The complete Iranian plan is to bomb, invade and takeover Israel.
There are some differences, IMO the most important is we did not give pre-notice of our intent. Both the iranians and the Israelis have.

I used to believe given the same threat situation the Israelis face, we would make a preemptive strike.
I no longer feel that same confidence and willingness to engage. I mean really - What would Hillary/Obama do?

Now I think a couple of well placed bombs could set the US up for a takeover and complete makeover.
