Re: Israel v Iran conflict
I'm am not shifting the goal posts. Iran wins on both population and population density, so you don't have an argument, I just didn't want to insult your intelligence by pointing out that Iran is significantly larger.
You don't need super accurate missiles, you just aim into Tev Aviv. Iranians are the intellectuals of the Muslim world, they have no shortage of engineers. If they do engage in a long term conflicts (although it looks like they don't want to) they keep rebuilding. They have already used hypersonic missiles which are considered high tech delivery systems. ---------- Post added at 08:58 ---------- Previous post was at 08:27 ---------- OK I will lay it out: US doesn't give any support: Revolution in Iran - Israel wins Iran unifies into long term war - Iran wins US commits massive forces: Russia and China don't support Iran, Iran surrenders/regime change - Israel wins Russia and China do support Iran - Long term conflict, hard to say (maybe WWIII) |

Sure, Israel probably wants regime change. Lack of regime change however is not an Iranian win. Iran has already lost its proxies on Israel’s borders, and it has now lost swathes of war-making capacity on its home territory. Lack of regime change certainly doesn’t open the way to Tel Aviv getting ‘chipped away’. Iran doesn’t have the capacity to produce enough damaging munitions, rapidly enough, to achieve that, and neither Russia nor China is in a position to help. |
Re: Israel v Iran conflict
One of the things sort of bothering me is there is no condemnation of Iran from Downquark. Especially because of their terrorist proxies - Hamas and Hezbollah.
He seems to be in "just saying" mode by inventing Iranian superiority at the end game. What I'd really like to know is whether or not Downquark would prefer Iran to be the winning side. I'll be surprised if I get a proper answer. |

In this particular military spat, Israel opened aggression and is risking World war 3. Iran has been funding Hamas and Hesbola etc. which I do utterly condemn and if they do lose it would not be undeserved. But I am still tepid about the whole risking world war III thing. |

About this WWIII thing: The corollary to your tepidity is that Israel, having noted the IAEA report, should not, on balance, have attacked Iran - leaving Israel open to eventual extinction by reason of Iran's eventual nuke. Then what for WWIII? This was a long time coming and the IAEA report was the trigger. Note that the surrounding Arab countries have not mobilised against Israel nor made any such noises. On the contrary, I believe them to be sort of rooting for Israel. |
Re: Israel v Iran conflict
The countries allied with the US are rooting for Israel (sort of). The countries allied with BRICs is rooting for Iran (also sort of).
The nuke thing is a red herring. It's just Saddams WMD over again. Russia and China don't want US influence in Iran as that messes with their geopolitical chess game. |

And yes, imo, to your chess game assertion. Nevertheless, Isreal, acting on the IAEA report, is in self defence mode. |

There’s another option. It all plays out online via social media.

Re: Israel v Iran conflict
Sooooo
The Israeli defence minister states that the Iranian leader can’t be allowed to continue to live because an Iranian missile hits an Israeli hospital. But it’s fine for Israeli missiles to hit hospitals in Gaza and civilian targets in Iran ? Now the justification for Gaza will be ‘well Hamas historically use hospitals blah blah blah, fine’ but historical doesn’t mean current nor active but didn’t stop them from being bombed senseless killing hundreds of innocent people in the process I think I also read that Iran was still in negotiations when Israel launched strikes. So to me that reads that Israel doesn’t trust those parties involved in the negotiations? But it’s quite happy to demand their help? ---------- Post added at 15:01 ---------- Previous post was at 14:58 ---------- Israel or more specifically Netanyahu is becoming quite the Harvey Dent |

Do you believe that an Iranian nuke would be used or threatened against Israel? Do you deplore Iran's policy for the destruction of the State of Israel? It's useful to note where people stand on the underlying issues (Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah) dedicated to Israel's destruction). |
Re: Israel v Iran conflict
Most of the middle east would be happy to see the end of Israel . If they were pro USA, so would donny ,as long as they are anti USA, Israel will be protected.

Most of the Middle East wants stable government free of Islamist nut-jobs. They see that Israel as an issue is an actual lightning rod for Islamist nut-jobs. They have to *say* they demand Israel stop attacking Iran, but Israel attacking Iran suits them the same as it does when they attack extremists in Hamas and Hezbollah. |
