10. Yes, Nuttery

If these sites are underground, under a few 100 ft of rock, there is no conventional weapon that can do more than close the doors to these facilities, as per the Union of Concerned scientists. Even nuclear penatrators cant do more than 60 to 80ft. The only thing that might penatrate more than 350 ft would be a kenetic strike, a tungsten rod dropped from orbit, which would look like a nuclear strike to most observers in the region.

Who wants to be the first to use nuclear weapons against another country since 1945?

Does Israel upset the Apple cart and increase the likely hood that as a result of an attack on Iran, that Israel wont exist as a nation state?

Iraq and Iran are Shite, KSA is Sunni, amazingly that makes Israel and the KSA potential allies, as long as Israel doesnt do something large enough to unset that Applecart.

Ive made this and other similar points, now in my journal.

Experts Say Iran Attack Is Irrational
